Have $1400-1700 to play with. (bodywork wise)
As the title says i have about 1700 to spend to get my car fixed (95 Mitsubishi Eclipse). Went and got an estimate from Bruces Super body shop or whatever its called and it came out to a little over $1700. Should i JUST get that one spot fixed (behind my driver side door its dented, and scratched all the way across to the back bumper) or do you guys know of any body shops that could possibly paint the car and fix the spot for that amount?
I was thinking maaco, someone told me they do paint jobs for like 200 or something, but i don't really want anything that cheap.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. The ultimate win for me would be to get that spot fixed/painted and to buy a 99 front bumper and get it painted as well.
But idk..... lmk what you guys think.

I wouldn't put maaco down, TrePound got his JDM front integra done there, and he had no complaints that I know of. I'd talk to him about it though.

Might have to hit that up if I can't find anything on this side of the water, but would prefer something closer so it won't be so hard to get to/home. Thanks!
Will do, Maaco's back on the list. lol
