Default Looking for very nice DFW based custom body shop

I got hit bad on the 11th with the storm. I have hail damage to 75% of my very new to me car. So new, I only had it 30hrs in my possession. See this thread for pics:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-...v-but-fml.html

I'm looking to get it repaired with full panel replacement, *NOT* PDR. There are dents on dents & I'm not sure PDR will get it all. I want it done RIGHT RIGHT.

Also, I'm looking to do some mods/custom paint as well if I chip in some more.

Looking for info ASAP! Thanks ya'll!

Don't use service king!! They suck!! They repaired my mothers hail damage and I can still notice flaws. Wait for other members to give you some advice. Good luck

I know Stuart's Paint and Body does some nice work, you may check them out. They're just north of 635 on Plano Rd.

Im using Herbs in Frisco. It will be the 2nd time ive used them they do pretty good.
Panel replacement is all up to your Insurance Co. They will only pay for replacement if PDR doesnt get the dents out. Good luck with that fight.

I have about 4K worth of damage on my 2007 Yukon here in Savannah.

I would have recommended Herb's as well but he asked for custom work. Last time I stopped in at Herb's they directed me elsewhere for custom bodywork, if it's just paint then maybe they will.

I use Procare Collision in Flowermound. They do custom work and my paint color always matches perfectly.

Well, custom paint more than serious body mods. I don't want some single spray two tone paint thing going on. Sorry for the mix up . . .

And if you look at the pictures, I'm not sure how they can get *ALL* of that with PDR.

And Savannah is about 6miles from me. Sup neighbor?

I should also clarify, North side preferred. Lewisville/Frisco & points west.
