The quality work done fixing this car should definitely bring in more business to this body shop. Chicago definitely has a great body shop there. Consider putting up on your garage walls something advertising these places you brag about. People put up Advance, Oreilly, Motul and other companies names in their shops. Your shop can have the legit places for repairs you trust and tell people to visit. That would be awesome to see.

Only ones that come primed are Ford, Citroen, Peugeot, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, Mini, Bentley, Opel. Volvo is the only ones that come already painted from factory. Some manufacturers I’ve mentioned on some models they come primed & other models don’t. Lastly all Japanese & Korean cars have the thinnest steel compared to European cars.
