Does anyone here do body work in the NJ/NY/CT area?

Do any of you guys do professional body work in the NJ/PA/CT area? My MINT GTA was in an accident, and all the body shops around here are very overpriced. I don't trust half of them with my car either.... very shady.

If not, does anyone know any QUALITY and REASONABLY priced shops in the area?

Thanks!
Bill

Im at a shop in connecticut, in the new haven area. We are a small shop that does excellent work. Weve been around for thirty years and have completed many classic car restorations. If youd be interest in seeing more we just recently opened a web site. The site is www.franksautocareonline.com . If you have any questions youd like answered please feel free to call the shop or PM me on here.

Thanks for all the responses! Charged350 and Johnblaze322, do you know the names of the shops by chance and/or have phone numbers?

I'm going to do some mapquesting to figure out travel times to your places, etc. etc.

Any other takers?

Thanks!
Bill
