Hey all, recently I had a mishap with my beloved BMW E46 M3 coupe. And when I say beloved, I mean I love this car more than life itself… well not quite that much, but you get the idea. Specifically, my car suffered rear-end body damage. While it drove just fine, it looked horrible.
Finding a company competent enough to repair an ultra-premium vehicle like an M3 isn’t easy. So I did a fair amount of research in order to find someone that I could trust to fix my prized G-ride. I eventually settled on Spectrum Collision based on other feedback I read on the internet as well its relationship with a local Orange county BMW dealership.
During the estimate, the guys let me know right away that this fix was going to take some serious time. They also took the time to give me a tour of the facilities. I couldn’t believe the sheer number of late model and smashed up 3, 5-and 7-series Beemers under repair—these guys had to know what they’re doing!
Without a doubt I could have brought my car elsewhere and it may have been repaired faster, but, to me, the MOST important aspect of a repair is doing it correctly. Thus, it wasn’t that big of a deal knowing that I’d be without my whip for 2 to 3 months.
Craig Borja was the point man for my repairs and he flat-out did an excellent job. He didn’t really keep me aware of the status of the repair (fine by me) but when my car was finally fixed the results were outstanding. You could never tell that the car was in an accident and it drove perfectly. A few weeks after picking up the car, I noticed that the repaired areas showed some “orange-peel” effect in the black paint. I brought it back and Dan Gonzalez had the boys work their magic and voila, it was literally better than new.
If you’re looking for a quick repair, I’d advise you to look elsewhere. But, if you want a quality repair and aren’t considered about the time it’s going to take than choosing Spectrum Collision is a no-brainer.
Thanks guys for keeping me mached-out in style.
Pros: Excellent workmanship
Cons: Length of repair
