Triangle Area Members - Need Advice

[soccernamlak]

First of all, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this.

Second, I realize two things: one, I am relatively new to the SHOForum and am not that active. I spend most of my Taurus time on the TCCA boards. I go by the same name there as well. I also realize that I own a SLO, not a SHO...

Anyway, my car was recently injured:

There are not really any active members in TCCA (despite our size) in the Triangle area. The nearest member to me is on the Outer Banks.

I did notice that there are a few members in the Fayetteville, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill Area.

My question to you is this: Are there any collision or body shops in the Triangle Area that you recommend? Specifically in Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, and Raleigh?

I greatly appreciate your advice and input.

Thanks, Kal.

I just was wondering how the repairs were going?

Ah, I finally got the repairs done! I apologize, as I don't come nor post here often, for the time delay. Basically, in a nutshell, a week after this accident some nailed my bumper.

Picture:

Sadly, it was a hit and run

Anyway, I had to repair/replace my bumper, replace a light, fix the trunk lid (metal got bent), and fix the dent in the quarter panel alongside a fresh new paint job. All in all, the total bill was $2400 with insurance picking up $2200 of it.

New Bumper:

Dent fixed:

I took it to Rick Hendrick's in downtown Durham as Geico was located right there and if I did the repairs through them at that shop, they guaranteed a lifetime warranty on the bodywork and paint. So, all in all, it took about a week to repair the car, but I think it turned out great in the end. I was pleased with the body work on it, although I personally wish they would have called me before replacing the bumper....I was trying to snag a SHO bumper for the rear.

Anyway, I appreciate all of your help and advice!
