Default Northwest sunroof delete?

Anyone know of a good shop that can do a sunroof delete in the northwest? I figure there's got to be someone in Portland or Seattle (both the same distance away). I'm looking to buy a new roof skin rather than welding the sunroof shut.

Mark Israel owner of Eurotech in Kirkland, WA can take good care of you. They do great work.

Yup, Mark can do it, but you will pay dearly for him to do so, with both time & money. But his work is very impressive.

I've have very good luck with Haury's Auto Body, there in Seattle. He is also a car guy & races a Pro 3 E30. They are the ones who did the bumperett delete for me.

Jeff Gamroth at Rothsport would be a great choice; he is in Portland (Tualatin, actually).

He's doing mine as we speak.

Both my own and my friend's recent experiences with them were kinda..well, average overall to be nice and vague. In hindsight, I really wish I had gone to Eurotech/Euroglass. Just my $.02...

+1 for Eurotech. I was happy with the work they did on my car.

I was not impressed at all by Eurotech, nor by the sub they used to replace the windshield..... I learned later that it pays to be persistent with body shops in general, but to be honest for the price I paid I don't think I should have had to worry about anything at all. One return trip and further disappointment was enough.

Not sure who I will use in the future. What sort of paint/body work does Gamroth do? Sure seems like the logical choice.... My car has a few bits and bobs that need attention.

Good luck on the sunroof delete Nollie, please post some pics of the job and your impressions of the work once it's complete.

Jason please be more descriptive with your experience with Eurotech. I had them refinish my front bumper including filling of the license plate mounting holes. The color match was perfect as was the fit. Euroglass did both my front qnd rear windshields on the 911SC, installation was very clean with all excess sealant cleaned.

Harlan, I'd rather not recall the episode. Maybe next time we chat, ask me about it.
