but i see a lot of fenders and doors on display at the kathay shops along evangelista makati.

in the few times that my old sentra suffered a fender bender, the casa (nissan UN ave.) effected a very nice repair. i do not know if they did it themselves, or they subcontracted it. perhaps you might ask them, and have the folks do yours.

good luck, and share with us the photos of the final product.
yeah, some other shops told me not to have the whole car scraped but others told me to scrape... im getting a wide variety of answers to the same question: scrape or not.

im thinking of bringing the car to the casa para sila na lng mag paint, but my friend advised against it as they charged him 80k before just for a washover...

anyways, heres my top choices for body work and paint:
-sams autoworx, i saw their mazda 323 sa MIAS and was impressed so i got their calling card

-paint plus, had cars painted there before but medyo mahal din...

-(the cheapest) the nameless shop here in paranaque, kila dudong...
