SAM"S Collision here in London did a great Job!
They paid lots of attention to the details. And i'll be sending the wife's Civic when its time.

They fixed ALL the rust with welds not Bondo.
Had my windshield replaced and sand blasted all the channels.
I had them custom fit new emblems.
Paint the outer part of the mirror.
Shave the antenna.
And paint all for a price I'm happy with
So call Dexter (519) 433-3111
I have never met someone so happy with his job he IS an artist!

Wow... gorgeous job. I could only imagine what that would have cost. A budget job would be in the $2500 dollar range... that does NOT look like a budget job, that looks like a mint car freshly imported from California or something.

Nice work.... do they offer payment plans

i'm pretty sure he stuck with the stock Milano red. Rio and Milano red are nortious for fading, especialy for gen2's since they as old as 16. you wanna see how bad it can fade just take a look at my car. most of you have seen it and when ppl ask if its Rio or Milano red i just say neither, it's sun fucked red.
