      I think responses are low because there's some bitterness around some bad paint jobs in the club I think we are floundering a bit as to where to go next.

        I would try Craftsman Collision off of McLeod Tr. by South Center Fine Cars. There is a painter named John there who does good work for a good price.

                    What happened to Rudy's? Are they still the club bodyshop?

                        We may still get a discount at Rudy's. Good for small things if you ask me.

                        A couple of people had to have repaints done on bad/borderline paint jobs from Rudy's after we hooked them up as a club body shop last year. This is NOT to say they have done a bad job on ALL the cars they painted, however it only takes a couple of cases to make us as a group wary...

                          For my 2 cents worth, I have always gone to where the dealership gets their work done--for the last no. of years, Northland VW have used Coachworks (one block N. of John Laurie, and just E. of Edmonton Trail), and I have had my Jetta in there too many times to mention, over the last 10 or so years. I know the owner (Frank) and he just loves seeing my Jetta!! (he said , "I hate this car-there's nothing on it to fix"...). Great work and reasonable prices, in my books!!!!

                            Northland and Calgary Coachworks used to be in the same building until Northland renovated a few years ago.

                              I read somewhere, maybe beyond, that coachworks will not do custom work, only factory-looking sprays/resprays. Not sure if thats true.
