Default Utah Body Shop Recommendations

Hey all -

I spent about a year and a half looking for a perfect s2000. I wanted a clean carfax, low mileage, all-vin tag, spotless s2000. Anyway, I own a Rio Yellow Pearl 2004 with 50,000 miles that is pristine. Just tonight, someone backed into it and seriously deformed the drivers side fender (split paint, fender caved in, etc.). I was wondering if anybody happens to know of a top-notch body shop in utah. I'd love to save the original VIN fender if possible, but honestly, I'm mostly concerned about the Rio Yellow Pearl paint matching - I've heard that it is super hard to match correctly, and I definitely don't want a bad paint job on my S. Any recommendations would be appreciated!!

Thanks s2ki Utah!

After a bit more research, looks like Wasatch Body Shop has excellent reviews... definitely leaning in that direction.

If you're looking for a premium shop, Wasatch is an excellent choice.

Concur with Wasatch. There is also one on SLC I have dealt with....Abra. They are right next to Tim Dahle Infiniti and do a lot of high end cars in the area. But you won't go wrong with Wasatch.

I had my hardtop painted at Wasatch from this boards recommendation. Great quality, yet I am not sure if I will choose them again if the money is coming out of my pocket. If it is insurance money, absolutely.

Wasatch --> if insurance is paying
Russ' in Sandy --> if I'm paying

Russ flared and painted the fenders on my S2K race car years ago and did an absolutely amazing job. He also repaired the car from a few on track incidents when MMP first opened and idiot drivers that had no business on track rear-ended me because they thought their Mustangs could brake as late as the feather light S2K.
