Maryland shop to paint bumper and hood
I'm looking for a shop in Maryland to paint the hood, fenders, and front bumper of my 11 yr old 325i. I have a ton of rock chips and want to get this taken care of by a good shop at a reasonable price. Any suggestions?

When I changed my E92 from sport to m-sport front bumper, BMW of Silver Spring shipped my pieces directly to these guys who did a great job.
http://www.acs-md.com/ This was at least 4 years ago, so I'd have to dig for the invoice if I even still have it.

From personal experience, Auto Collision Specialists were terrible. They were also recommended by BMW SS to us.
One incident with our t-boned E38, it took them over 12 months to repair the damage which should have taken a short few months. Luckily BMW paid for a rental for the duration of the repairs but we had to fight for that. The second was when our E46 had the subframe repaired under warranty. They did everything fine except the drive shaft. For a period of a month I would get a really strange oscillating vibration at speed. It turned out after trial and error at my trusted mech shop that Auto Collision misaligned my drive shaft. Since it took over a month to troubleshoot, the driveshaft was toast. Had to get a new one. One place I'd recommend is auto dent in Rockville for body work. Always great and professional.

I've only used them for paint and the products turned out quite well, which is all the OP was looking for. If that is how they do body frame repairs, then I would seek elsewhere too.

I've used the collision center at BMW of Annapolis a few times. They aren't the cheapest, but they guarantee their work.
