Long Island, NY people help me out

I'm looking for a body shop in the West Babylon area that does a good paint job for a reasonable price. I also need someplace that will give me a at home estimate and will pick up and deliver the car. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

Touch of Class is on Rockaway Blvd. in or near Valley Stream. I dislike their affiliated mechanic, but my brother really likes their paint jobs. I would definitely say do not go to their mechanic shop. I can't say for sure about their paint jobs though. Good luck.

I live in West Babylon and am looking for the same thing. I actually was thinking about going to that place on Sunrise...near the waldbaums shopping center...it usually has that beautiful 4th gen color changing camaro. They do really nice paintjobs from what I can see....I always see upperclass cars such as vettes and lexus' there...they must do a pretty good job if those cars are there. Also...I was looking at that place with the vettes out front...it looks like they are some kind of custom vette place...but they must paint other cars. They have that black to silver fade car. I live like 2 minutes away from there off of Hubbards path. I am getting my car painted for $150 throgh this kid I know who works at a body shop off of Hubbards. He is sanding, priming, and wet sanding it. They are using dupont and he said he would put clear coats on it...so should I see how the $150 paint job comes out...and if it is bad then just go to one of the places I just mentioned? It is only $150. Well good luck.

150 seems way too low for a paint job. But if you got it and can be without the car for a while, why not. Personally I've lready put lots of time, blood and sweat into my car, so I'd rather splurge and know I'm getting it done right the first time.
