Default Need a Body Shop in Houston

My girlfriend managed to smack a concrete barrier on the highway Friday night. Don't want to talk about it...

The left rear quarter panel is very scraped up where she glanced off of it. Kicked the *** end out and then the front left hit the barrier and pushed it in pretty good.

Again, don't want to talk about it, still trying to block it out. Just need suggestions for body shops in the Houston area with corvette bodywork and painting experience.

Thanks guys. Kinda far from me but when four guys in a row highly recommend them that seems like a no brainer.

Unfortuantely I now need body work as well. This place isn't too far for me, but I would like to know if anyone else has heard of this place or has something to add.

Thanks,

Jeff

I know that they do insurance work, you could call them to see specifics.

They are a state farm approved place. They don't even send adjusters there, they just have Richey's send digital photos.

Thanks,

I know many 50th AE owners had difficulty getting paint matched all over the US. Richey did some paint work on my car. The 50th AE paint is matched perfectly. They aren't that close to me, but I would drive hundreds of miles to have them work on my car. I also understand that Corvettes of Houston sends all their body and paint work to Richey.
Best regards,
Greg
