i know german auto, and kreative customs for our german cars... but does anyone have a good recommendation for lexus?

we have our lexus at autowest and went to pick it up yesterday... the work was crap and they are going to try and redo it. i don't think they will be able to do a good job so i'm looking for another company now.

please post here or email me your recommendations. thanks

It looks like your located in San Jose, however I've always taken my cars to Brooks Motor Cars in Oakland. They are a little expensive but do great work.

FUCK SUPERIOR. i took both my sisters and my car there back to back. not only did they have fuckin shitty ass customer service (never call you back), but they fuckin lied to my face. i was shopping around and told the guy i would bring him both cars if he painted my reflectors while painting the rear bumper. i told him i'd be willing to pay a couple bucks on top if i had to. he told me no problem he would take care of it since they were mixing paint anyways. after they finished my sisters car, he told me 200 bucks to paint some fuckin reflectors. i was so pissed because he said he would include it. i could have gone to another shop and had it thrown in. not only that, but they didn't even do the job properly. i got rear ended, and they didnt even replace my rear valence, which to this day is still scratched. nothing but bad experiences with superior.

Works Auto Body, in Santa Clara.

They did my Miata twice and my previous B5 S4 once. Excellent work both times, and also a very nice job on a friend's TR-250 (body-off-frame restoration) and another friend's Elise.

Sux to hear. I didn't have to deal much with them customer service wise because vw dealer covered everything. they did a good job on the car though.
