Report
I brought my new-to-me Z4 Coupe in to Classic Car Lab after having read through their website and several reviews online. My car had 16 years worth of paint damage, scuffs, and some poorly done body work after what were likely some minor scrapes. The James's (there are two of them, one for service and mechanicals and the other for paint and body work) took excellent care of me, even going so far as to keep the car for a few extra days after I saw some other bits and pieces I wanted looked into. The quality of their work and the customer care were exceptional. Communication was strong throughout
