white pearls are VERY HARD to match color.

No recommended shops, just a network where I have more access to monitor the progress.

What about it next closest city? Houston/Dallas?

Rental car + slight drive might be better than shitty service/paint? :ugh2:

Too far out of my way to even try. Can't afford to take the day off work to run out for an estimate, take another day to drop it off and another to pick it up. Plus I don't have rental coverage on my insurance yet so spouse would have to help me out.

Easy for you to say!

Well which is riskier, having to ask the spouse for assistance, or getting it done by a less than reputable shop for them to mess it up and having to do it over again... :ugh2:


There's a reason I drove to VA to go to the shop that was Highly recommended. The quality of work made it worthwhile.


I hope no matter where you go, they do an excellent job and she comes out looking the way you want. :tup:

Yup... I don't have PW paint :icon17: There's something to be said for convenience, too. Good luck wherever you go, of course :tiphat:

no uninsured motorist coverage or rental coverage ... :shakes head:

I have uninsured motorist coverage but opted out of rental coverage since I have that through Nissan and David works about 5 miles away from me.

So I'm on the fence about taking my car to get painted at the shop where I got the estimate. The majority of reviews online are negative. But so are the reviews for every other shop in Austin. :ugh:

Any recommendation from forum member around the area??

that's unfortunate...

Uninsured motorist coverage is a necessity in Texas...

I've been rear ended at full speed turning into a parking lot, the entirety of which was witnessed by a cop sitting in his car in said parking lot. She did not speak any English, she did not have a license or ID, and of course, no insurance. When the Spanish speaking officer arrived on the scene, he took her statement and then came over to me. She was extremely aggressive and claiming that I cut her off and then slammed on my brakes to turn into the parking lot. I had been in the lane for a good while - at least three lighted intersection spaced over a half mile or so. They essentially didn't even take my statement because the witnessing police officer stepped in and explained that she simply plowed into me when I was turning.

What's unfortunate? I can always add it in for $5/month. I'm confused....:icon14:
