Platinum Auto in Marina del Rey always did excellent work for me and VERY reasonable prices. Ask for Sue. The rest of the people in there were clueless. It's right by Costco.

It's been a few years since I've been there since I moved.

+1 for Jimmy Bastoli. He does all our paint jobs and is next door to our shop.

Premier Motorsports in Culver City. Their location in Carson is specifically for exotics while the one in Culver city takes in the rest.
