Default Now in SA w/TA

Hey guys I just moved up to San Antonio from Laredo. I have a 2000 Pontiac Trans am. Just wanting to see how many locals are on here and word on any good shops. The car needs a little bit of work ie( shocks, new door, and possibly a paint job.) other then its a fully running , tire smoking machine ready to tear it up. Plan on getting a new 2010 Camaro in the future and I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado Pick up as my Daily driver.

Welcome. I moved to S.A. from Laredo in 2001. Good luck with finding a shop. I ended up doing my springs and shocks myself and a buddy. Cost of install was rediculus(?). I'd find a good body shop for the rest. I'm looking for a body shop myself to do my rear bumper. I hit a flower bed backing up a month ago.

Hey if your talking about the one at Biffs, well why does it seem that the Ls1 folks don't really show their cars? On the other hand if you have a mustang with rear wheels and seats its in the show.....
