Default Body shop in Central NJ pref. Jersey Shore Area

Some nice gentleman (read: moron) backed into my car in a parking lot. Right rear quarter panel damaged needs replaced and painted. Have 1 estimate, but would like to know if anyone has a good recommendation for a shop near Neptune, Asbury Park, Long Branch, Eatontown area. Also, if anyone has had a particularly BAD experience, I'd like to hear that too!

LOL! I don't believe anyone has ever had a GOOD experience with a moron hitting their 'vette, so I guess I meant the body shop experience. I'd rather find the best guy out there, but I also want to learn from someone else's experience rather than my own if there's a hack out there. Nobody has come up with any answers yet, so maybe they're afraid to recommend a shop.

Interested in the same thing - had some road trash put two 'divots' in my hood - first ever scratch (14000 miles)!

Hey,
On my 95 camaro I needed a new hood and the front right fender replaced. I took it to Branning Auto Body in freehold. Awesome work! Got it back relatively fast, color matched perfect, Everything lined up. Couldn't ask for more. They were a little more than some other places, but you get what you pay for. I'd def reccomend taking it there.

Across the street from Branning's is Ken's Auto Body, he had done a mirror for my C-5 and my C-6 roof after the dealer had some issues. Ken has three Corvettes himself so he understands the cars.

I've had good luck with Ocean Auto Body on Rt. 35 in Ocean Township.

Ryan's Auto Body on Cindy Lane in Ocean Township has a very good reputation as well. They do a lot of high dollar cars there and are not inexpensive.
