Looking for the best value on some body work. A friend of mine needs a touch-up on the rear bumper of his Honda (factory color). Just looking for your favorite body shops considering both quality and price. (Bloomington/Normal area)

My .02... remember when you reference "value" that it comes off as "lowest price." When it comes to paint work, you get what you pay for. The proper way to spot in a bumper cover is to remove it, repair it, spot the color in and blend it out, with a full clearcoat over the entire cover. A mobile guy can "spot refinish" a cover, but the clear will leave a line if you look for it. I work for Collision Revision, but any reputable shop can handle a repair like that. As for quality, I don't think it gets any better than a lifetime warranty. FWIW, there are CR's in Bloomington and Normal.
