My friend Fred owns Conkling Auto. He's owned this shop in the same spot for some 20+ years. He has worked on a few S2000s and I would trust him with my own. He may also be able to help him with a paint & body shop as I do not have any experience with those.

I know of a few places ... but they are in Ocala. I work for Jenkins Auto Group and we have a very large collision center. What kind of repair(s) does your friend need?

He just needs a few body panels paint matched. The previous owner didn't do a very good job of paint matching. Where are the shops? I'll run it by him and let him decide. Thanks

Ask to speak to Chris French. He's one of the advisers there and can set up a time to do an estimate.

For body work: Gainesville Buick-GMC Collision Repair Center, 2101 N. Main St. Gainesville 352.642.1304 . Has long had an arrangement with USAA insurance. They did a fine job on the rear bumper on my white S.

also GT Motorcars 33 SE 13th Road Gainesville 352.371.0215 has a fine reputation locally.

The Honda dealer, Honda of Gainesville (formerly Wade Raulerson Honda) 3801 N. Main St. Gainesville 352.372.2329 has done the maintenance on my 2005 since new. They're good, but expensive...
