Phoenix Body Shop recommendations?

[nomov8sho]

No, not the '93. Somebody decided to make a right turn from the left lane into the front of my wife's black '97. I am not having great SHO luck lately.

It needs at least the front driver fender, headlight assy, and fascia. No leaks that I could see, but it does pull a little and the steering is groaning. Gonna want to find a good steering / suspension place too, once the bodywork is done.

The other lady was found to be at fault.

My insurance company keeps saying "We'll be happy to tow it to a salvage yard for 'evaluation' and write you a check." Hah! Not gonna happen.

The other lady had insurance, and even better, with a different company.

Let me know if you have any wreck-o-mendations.

Coulter Caddilac has a very good body shop.

Also, Frank Borrowitz at Premier Frame and Body but he is more of a old-car restorer; but he does have a frame machine.

I used RS Autobody at 19th Ave & Deer Valley for my wife's Lexus. New hood/fender/bumper & frame rail straightening - I got to see it torn down and didn't see any shortcuts being taken. And a year later I still can't tell where the new paint was blended with the original.

I highly recommend them.

Thanks for the replies. I'll call around tomorrow and see what they say. Anyone else with a recommendation feel free to chip in. It's been my experience that the good places often have a waiting list.

Unfortunately, a SHO is an old car now. Or maybe fortunately.

Got it in at RS autobody- Thanks for the recommendation! The insurance company grumbled, but they are paying to fix it. Hopefully we'll have it back by the end of the week.

Anybody have a genIII passenger-side rear rocker panel ground effect and some extra clips? Or know where there might be one in a yard? I'm trying to get that fixed at the same time...

Thanks,

Check the Tucson Craigslist - there's one being parted out now.
