Default Platinum V.I.P. (question)

I was wondering if anybody has had their car done at that shop before and how satisfied were you with the job? I seen a few reviews on their website about them but I want to here it from CL members.

I am getting ready to buy a GS and am looking for a shop ahead of time.

Thanks.

I haven't had any work done there but know a few friends who have. They are very satisfied and the work is top notch.

I have had some work done there. And I think you can hear "STORIES" about just any shop, but just don't rely on that, for the most part.

1. One of the cleanest body shops around.

2. They are cool people (You should probably go meet people, before they work on ur car)

3. They are always very busy.

4. Price are decent, just let them know ur from CL

5. I was happy that they took care of my car and they did a good job. I had 1 pit in the paint, but I wasn't going to be **** about it. However, some people might be. It's just up to you, how far you want to take it. Otherwise, the paint look flawless.

They hosted a meet once for the CL members like last year I think. I must say they have a great location and show room. I never taken my car there to get things done but I've heard great reviews about their service.

Ive gotten work done at Platinum. I went in there with my wheels and springs.. and I ended up buying coilovers from them since springs wouldnt get me low enough. Took them 1 hour to get me my coilovers, and by the end of the day with everything installed i had -7 camber with stock arms.. If you need anything done, go to platinum vip
