Body Work in the Bay Area

Has anyone worked with some vendors for body work in the East Bay area?

I am particularly interested to know of any experiences with Bay Bridge Motors.

Thanks

Bay Bridge Motors did a great repair job on my MCC after I was rear ended. They have done high end body work (classic Ferrari restoration) and I have confidence in their abilities. They are MINI enthusiasts and specialists, and I also use them for installing mods.

BBM has just enlarged and improved their body shop. They are the only "green" shop in Cali so far. They do excellent work, be it repairs or mods. Jacques Andres, the owner, is also a very fast MINI racecar driver. Good folks to know. Highly recommended!

Tell 'em Sid sent you.

I exclusively recommend Haws Auto Body in Concord and Lafayette:

Haws Concord Auto Body
925-676-1944
Kevin

Haws Plaza Lafayette Auto Body
925-284-5335
Jaime


Both of these facilities are MINI Certified

anyone know of any good body work places in the south bay? I had a road work cone take out the passenger side of my front bumper this morning. It was all by its self in the middle of the freeway laying on its side and all i saw was the butt end of it, which is black, and it was dark out so i didnt see it in time. Or if anyone has a spare front bumper in dark silver laying around for cheap ill take it.

bay bridge motors

Body work and paint is best quality. They are also environmentally sound. Good finish, no short cuts on the metal work. I watched bottoms up on 246 Dino they are currently finishing.
