Has anyone had experience working with this shop? Looking to get a euro bumper painted. Any insight appreciated!

Yes, I realize they seem to be primarily a PPF/detailing shop. My Yelp request was dispersed to them as part of the bulk request send and interestingly enough they offer paintwork services. They look to be fairly new but work on higher end vehicles and have reasonable pricing.

I probably wouldn't use high-end cars as the benchmark.

Like most detailing shops, they likely outsource that work to someone else but do the final 10% of the paintwork, which is paint and polish.

Honestly, I think that may be the case because their shop doesn't seem suited for paintwork.

My friend took his car to The Works Auto Body in Santa Clara if you need a second opinion on location.

I had great experience twice with AW collision...they fixed our F15 & G01. This is the body shop which is certified by BMW and partners with BMW Stevens Creek in San Jose.

Noted - I'll reach out to The Works Auto Body! Does your friend have any social media or photos of the work done by the shop?

Research update: I'd avoid going to Silicon Valley Autospa. I believe the guys at OC detailing (very reputable shop and I have seen their work in person on a friend's GT3) are referring to this shop in the video below. Although different type of work, this speaks volumes about their workmanship and quality.
