Well this isn't your average Toyota camry where u can just find a panel anywhere. We are talking about an Fbody. If your pockets are deep then he can work with you. It's not a cheap shop, just to warn you.... But they do great jobs. I've seen so many cars come in all crashed and leave like if nothing ever happened. If u want to report it then do it! Also if they fix it I know they will do the best to make it look right and color match and blend everything.

Ask for Andrew. I hope he doesn't mind me throwing this out there but Andrew is a fellow "TECH" member. Just make sure to say that 'Milk' referred you.








4 days with them!



... Totally worth it! ... Plus I got text message updates on exactly what stage of the process my car was at!
