Default Body Shop Recommendation

I have a friend looking for an experienced based recommendation for a body shop. Is there a consensus on a place that does top work at a fair price?

Fortunately this is not for my S2000, or even an S2000, but it would be good to know of a good shop. Preferred location would be Dallas, but I

There is a body shop at Jupiter/635 called Stuart's. I dont know about their prices, but they always have Ferrari's, BMW's, Rolls, Lotus, all kinds of expensive cars having work done there. I work nearby, and I drive by all the time at lunch just to see what cool cars they are working on.
Hope that helps!!

I think most people have heard of Stuart's. Although I hear that they also take about 4 times the amount of time to do the job.

I had Stuart's work on my car after a lady hit the driver side. They did excellent work. I think a layman would be very hard pressed to even notice it has had any damage. I highly recommend them.

One of the 350 guys had his NISMO bodykit painted at Stuart's. His 350 is Daytona Blue and it's the hardest 350 color to match (considering the body, gas flap, and bumpers don't match from the factory!!!). The guys at Stuart's came up w/ at least 10 color swatches (none of the different paint manufacturers matched w/ the factory paint code!). Ultimately, they matched the paint job really well.

If you guys are going to be at the dyno next Sat, then my friend will be there so you'll be able to check out the paint job.

Beyond that, Gernby is correct. It took them a while to match hist paint and I believe they are behind schedule w/ other cars right now.

Michael.
