Default Any Houston people know of a good legit bodyshop?

Took a turn to early and went over a curb and this happen.



Called up the insurance and have an adjuster coming out to look at it. I know this well over $500 to fix. So if any of you guys know of a good place please let me know. Specially ones that have worked on vettes over the years. Thanks.

just had my Z28 worked on at Classic Cheverolet in Sugar Land. Ask for Jim, they did a great job on mine and actually got the approval for the roof panel bubbles service bullentin approved for me. Good luck. BTW I had quick turn around also at Classic. I'm not normally one to suggest stealerships but I had a positive experience with the bodyshop and with Jim himself.
Jim Bartlett is his name don't have his # handy. Anyhow good luck with who ever you choose. Lifetimre warrantun from Classic.

Im going to be going to Richey's Collision. About 5 people said he was very good and has had a good share of vettes through there.

@70hemi i could but id end up spending roughly $600 on getting the pieces if not more. So i went with insurance. Rather have it done prof than in my garage. Plus the process of removing that panel is a pain and its not a small panel. Runs up into the door as well.

Richey is good but slow and pricey from everything I've heard. We ended up going with Kustom Werx in Spring, the owner does a lot of show/magazine cars and trucks. They did a fantastic job on our 2010 Camaro's stripes, fixed up the front of my Mustang before we sold it, and may be doing a good bit of the work on our 69 Camaro restoration project.

Well i ruled out one place that does good work, but they would not allow me to buy my own GM panels at a huge discount. So in other words they told me to F-off which disappointed me. Don't see the problem of bringing my own panels?

Any other places besides Richey's? I looked up International Paint & Body and they have a bad review out of 3. So im hesitant to take my car there.
