no shit they are 2 different companies, we sent bmw's to the ferman collision center all the time, and we get them back and have to reassemble the cars more than 50% of the time.
all im talking about is the collision center, not ferman chevy's parts department

when I worked there i was working the parts warehouse and I delivered and worked with the body shop alot thats how I know about the body shop, I did see alot of the BMWs that went in there and il be damm if 80% where destroyed! If it was any car other than a BMW it would have been totaled, hell there was this 3 series that came in that 25% of the car had to be cut and rebuilt! I have never seen that done before! but If the insurance company says thats what needs to be done then Ferman has to fix it.

+1 for crappy BMW body shops...if anyone down here in Sarasota county needs a reputable body shop, dont go any less than Eldridge (sp?) on clark rd. One of the employees that works there is the son of my auto teacher that I nutswing on...I have nothing but trust for their family.
Do NOT try Tom and Jerry's shop. I've seen some craptacular cars come from there that never shouldve left

Hay guys.I just want to share my experience with you.last week i had a car accident and get a big dent in my new car. Some one told me about Marlow auto body shop. I really want to say that this is the best auto body shop in this area. they remove the dent very cleanly and now you can't judge where was the dent.they offers wide range of auto body services including collision repair, car painting, body work, dent removal, hail repair, scratch removal , custom painting, vehicle towing and all the other kinds of damage repair services that your car may need.
