Default need body shop in Conn.

I need to clean up my front end....chips, a million scrapes on the bottom, and so on. Can anyone recommend a great body shop in Connecticut?
thanks.

There's only one choice - Automobile Associates of Canton on Albany Pike. Jim Newton's shop is simply the best, period. I've had work done there, as has my brother on Porsches, Ferraris, BMWs etc. His work is impeccable. He's restored 2 Manhattan trophy winners. Got to be one of the premier shops in the east.

Another place is the Black Horse Garage where we had the montly PCA meeting last night. Unbelievable what work they do on car restoration and refurbishment. And Automobile Assoiciates is an excellent choice as well. Hope this helps Carlos. How did you ever fix all of your early problems?

Hi Jay! I'm at 71k miles and have not had any problems for the last 30K or so. I worked with Porsche on the aggravation factor and we ended up “being friends”. In any case, the car has been great. My lease is up in May and I am not sure if I will trade in for a new one or buy this one. I still love every single mile I drive….obviously, with 71,000 miles.

How is your car after the fix from the accident?

Thanks for the body shop info. If I decide to keep it, I need to get the front end cleaned up a bit.

Best regards,

Carlos my car has been great. Not a problem. You wouldn't know that I had a fender bender if you looked at it. I just ordered Iforged Seneka wheels that I will have installed soon, and I'll take pics for all to see. Other than that everything has been great. Glad to hear that your car is doing well.

Most welcome. If you use Jim's shop, let me know what you think of their work. You will not be disappointed. He's not cheap, but their work is the highest quality.
