Angry Spun out on freeway!

Yesterday (Friday 11th), after pickin up my son from school I jump on the 5. I probably went half a mile when my rearend slides to my left and I hit the the wall. Luckily I did not hit another car. ANYWAYS, I need a good body shop that can fix my car. My rear left quarter panel took the impact. I am in the San Fernando Valley.

Cook's Corner on the corner of Sherman Way and Canoga. They're a bit pricey but do a really good job. Good luck. I think the guy's name is Rusty

Thanks for the info Fierce LS1. I will try them out tomorrow. I am going to many body shops to get estimates. I am not so worried about the price since I am insured. I am more concerned on the quality of work since it is my baby.

If anyone else has "hook ups" or knows a body shop with good quality work I would appreciate it

Yeah it sucks, sorry about the trouble. A lady hit my rearquarter about 2 years ago and they made it look brand new. They blend the paint and take off all moldings to do the job right.

Good luck

I don't know where you are located, but you can try this place:

J & H Auto Body
1125 W State St
Ontario, CA 91762
Tel: (909)-467-1840

Our Z28 is currently there getting the hood and roof repainted, as well as the body paint. They usually are at LACR as well, they have a quality shop and know muscle cars very well. Talk to Jesse and mention we (Jenibella Racing) sent you out there. They are all great guys to deal with.

Talk to Skytower31 for another place to STAY AWAY from. If you have Allstate as insurance, this is one of their shops...........I think it was like Pasadena Collision Center or similar.......not positive that is the name.......anyway.
