looking for a Paint/Body/Service Shops Alternatives to the Pontiac Dealership I got a 99 Formula that the power windows have been repaired 5 times on the drivers side and 4 times on the passenger side under warrantry and extended warranty
I took it back to a local dealership, Ewing, and they want to charge me a ridiculous rate even though this has been a pre-existing problem for years....
They told me 445 but were willing to come down to 320 and thats only for the drivers side, the slow passenger side I have just dealt with....
also if possible I really like to only use GM parts and would be willing to bring in my own parts
I also am planning to buy a new front bumper cover, found a good price from GM for about 335, and need to find some where to paint to match and maybe put it on, otherwise a friend and I will do it
my current bumper has a crack in the bottom, and repairing it seems like a waste when the repair cost was quoted to as 280

I mean I was considering having the paint booth addition added to my apartment but the property owner frowned upon it when I told him about my plans
Thanks

I was really hoping to find a local shop, that was highly thought of
I know there are shops like this,
Concours is an excellent independent body shop, but they refuse to work on domestics
