Does anyone know a good/reliable/not overpriced bodyshop around the DFW area? I need to get a new front bumper cover and have it sprayed, my current one is too messed up to fix
A close friend of mine owns a body shop in Arlington/Mansfield. Its called premier paint and body. The number for the shop is 817 473 4530 and ask for Nick. Tell him that Scott that he plays poker with is the one that the provided information to you. He usually won't quote over the phone, he usually needs to see what work is involved to give you a precise quote.

Keep in mind that quality work and cheap price are mutually exclusive. I've learned that the hard way. The cheap guys are cheap for a reason and the expensive guys do a good job. Make sure to do it right the first time.

Yeah I know, I just don't want to overpay... but I have no problem paying for quality work
^ Going with what I said earlier: Although I have somewhat limited experience with body shops, I've never heard of anyone "overpaying." Its alwys just a matter of finding the right cost/benefit ratio that makes you comfortable.
For example, there is a guy in rockwall who is one of the best painters in the country who would paint just my front bumper for $800. I got it done for $150. While his work looks like it rolled off the showroom floor, mine has a slightly noticable color deviation and fitment is slightly off. I was ok with that though. It wasn't worth $650 to get it perfect but that certainly doesn't mean that the other guy was trying to rip me off.
