CM Please recommend a body shop in California
How's everyone ?

Z06lvr here, with a 2006 Z06 that needs a good, honest, body shop that's Z06 certified.
I'm getting royally jerked around where she's at.
There's frame damage, so they need to know what they are doing.

Any recomendations of a shop in California would be VERY appreciated !!

Thanks ... in advance.

AFAIK, there are no certifications for Corvette body repairs, let alone one for a Z06. You just need to find a good shop with a laser alignment jig, IMO. Best place to find out is a local Vette club.

this is just my opinion, but i wouldn't let ANY small town body shop touch my vette. i would consider doing some research and finding a local chevy dealer that specializes in corvettes and take it to them. every area seems to have one of these chevy dealers that kind of stand out. for example kerbecks in atlantic city., grabiak in pittsburgh, bob mcdorman in ohio, etc.. at least when they start replacing parts and pulling on the frame and stuff like that you will have some kind of warranty if wires start getting pinched and bad things start to happen.
