I spent over a year trying to restore our family’s 1980 Volvo 245 and couldn’t find a single auto body shop in the Portland area willing to take on the paintwork. I literally called every shop I could find - most wouldn’t even consider it. Then someone recommended Wilmar at Bridge Motors Collision Repair, and everything changed. From the very beginning, Wilmar took the time to carefully assess the project and put together a thoughtful, detailed bid. Even after I had to postpone the work, he honored the original quote without hesitation - a rare show of integrity these days. When it came time for the actual work, Wilmar and his crew worked absolute magic. They matched the original “Blue Mist” color perfectly, and went above and beyond - removing every dent, ding, and spot of rust with meticulous attention to detail. The car looks as good as it did when it rolled off the lot in 1980. If you’re looking for a shop that takes pride in craftsmanship, communicates clearly, and delivers stunning results, look no further. Wilmar and his team are true artists, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. So grateful to have found them.
