Semi OT: Paint and bodywork in Mexico?

[biosurfer1]

I have seen posts in the past on other boards about people having paint and bodywork done just over the border in Mexico, around th TJ area. I was wondering if anyone from this board had work done and how it went? are the pirces worth it? any concern about the vehicle? Pictures?

thanks!

There was a guy named "redbeard" (or something like that) who had work done south of the border. He was pretty happy. Do a search for "Tijuana" or "Mexico." You'll probably find his thread.

I got curious, so I did a search. Here's the thread with the info. Apparently Red-Beard was VERY happy with the work on his car.

Los Panchos! The info

Theres no need to cross the boarder anymore. We've imported TJ to the San Fernando Valley. Soon to be in a city near you too.

Friend of mine had her 635CSi painted by CarCoa in the valley, turned out very good for a auto paint chain...

I'm a New Yorker so I do not know much about crime. But, a friend of mine visited TJ recently and had his wallet actually stolen by the police, so take that as a word of caution.
