paint job question

[konastang5.0]

i know ive asked this before but i cant remember, what would be the best place for me to get my car fully painted with rust fixed and dents pulled? plus it being not extreamly expensive. Im looking for a good job but it shouldnt be overly priced. No abra or maaco stuff. Im planning for sometime in the fall to get my car painted cause its getting really dinged up and scratched from over time since its an 89.

Most if not all the replies you will get will be evangelistic at best. I can say for a variety of valid reasons that Monticello Auto Body (in Monticello right off 94 by Monticello Ford) is among the best shops in the state. A lot of people will tell you one specific place is "the best" but this place is on par with anything anyone else can name.

I can give three big reasons why:
-They did amazing work on my Cobra and are beginning more amazing work on my Capri
-They are family owned and have been for years. John Johnson is the owner and his mother Jerri answers the phones. I often see John's Aunt and Grandmother around the office as well. Ken Kutz is the shop manager and his nephew is among the folks in the shop...John lives down the street from me, on the Mississippi River.
-They are one of my clients
(I am quite discerning, that means a lot)

Let me know who you end up with!

k, well do you think you could ask them how much they would charge me to get a paint job and remove rust and dents. Let me know, PM me when you find out. Thanks

ya, im sure if you post the number on here you will get them alot of business. Im know for sure my car is due for a new paint job. The rock chips in the hood look like crap and the cancer spots poping up all over are starting to grow.

i think the only rust that i have on my car is by the antenna and on the hatch. it is all under paint rust though. can't really notice it unless you are right on top of it.

ya for the most part mine is also. But its starting to crack and chip off. I think if i dont do something this year it will just get worse and the job will be more expensive. My spots are on the hatch near the ford emblem, on the drivers side rear wheel weel. Thats about it but those spots are growing noticably

Hey guys. You can reach Ken at Monticello Auto Body at 763-295-4122. If you could, let them know Patrick gave you the referral.

They shoot straight. He will more than likely ask you to bring the car out for an estimate. It is impossible (without ESP or remote viewing expertise popular on the Art Bell program) to estimate a paint job over the telephone. No matter how descriptive you are .

Bear in mind they try to stick to collision type work but if you are super cool with them they will work you in.

Thanks!
