Hi guys,
Need a recommendation for Car paint shop. My 6 months old Mazda 3 2.0 (silver) was knocked by a motorbike, denting the rear door and back panel, with some deep scratches. Wasnt able to identify the MB ( who was clearly in the wrong, anyways he sped off

). Went to dent repairs (www.dent.com.my) @ Puchong, was told the dent is irreparable with their tools and was advised to go paint shop to get it done. Here are my questions:
1) Should I bring back to Mazda SC for body repair + paint job, or just go to a regular car paint shop to get it done?
2) Need recommendation for car paint shop - good price with good handiwork
3) Will this void my warranty if I were to bring it to a non authorised paint shop?
Thanks to all sifus who are willing to help....
cheers
Got mine slightly dented like yours at the back, probably by irresponsible ppl at the car park denting it with their opening of car door. i was devastated and look for solutions online. hair dryer, dry ice bla bla bla... doesnt work.
I can roughly tell u the price for re-painting. Earlier this year, i got my car and drove it for about 2 months and i took it to
G'Zox auto detailing at sunway for a good waxing and shining.. When i went to collect my car.. i found piece of paint chipped off next to my headlamp area.. i stood there in shock and went to ask what happened, i can see it from a few meters away and the guy denied it saying it was like that since i came. A few more checks around the car and i found massive paint chip off at the right side back door handle (obviously from their waxing machine), the manager called up the paint shop behind and asked for a price quotation.
Just the front, about the size of a 5 cents coin.. he quoted RM200.. i dunno if it was abit ridiculous for that price or it was standard but i just didnt care cause
G'Zox covered it.
Anyway.. for your info.. I heard from professional.. after u repaint your car or repaint any small part of your car.. you have to re-wax your car to remove the paint or chemical residue.
If anybody knows a good price for fixing problems like ours. Please. do share. thank you
