So, I get a new rear bumper for free.

Any ideas where I should take my car? Are there any places I should avoid?

I get my work done at Grove Street Autobody on Greg St. in Sparks. (you just got to make sure that they done over spray on the paint job.) It's been nice effecient work both times I went there.

Shaber Ave. Autobody fixed my WRX. It's an expensive as hell shop, but they do impeccable work... mostly they repair/build hot rods and custom cars. The owner, Bruce Monson, is an old school body shop guy. His office is covered with pics of the rides he's built... very cool! He even did some work on a Porsche 959 display car!

Also, lots of people have used Gilson's too with good success.

Gilsons Autobody. Evan, Sergio, and I have used him and have been more then happy with the results.

Hmm, Grove Street Autobody is one of the "recommended" shops in the area.

Grove Street is the name of your gang in the latest Grand Theft Auto.

Concours Autobody is where my car is (waiting). Recommended by some scca people, my insurance company, and a couple of other personal friends who have been in Reno awhile.

MattR · 2004-12-14, 09:34 PM

Concourse did my Jeep when it got rear ended...they did a really good job. Gil the owner was very good to work with....although I've heard from other people that they are sketchy there...I had a great experience with them though.

MattR · 2004-12-15, 03:35 PM

So, I will put another recommendation in for Grove Street Auto Body. Shawn and I just went to pick up his girlfriend's 05 Legacy (The one that was rear ended by the tow truck)...

WOW! It looks amazing. Considering the level of damage and job done to repair it, it looks absolutley flawless...I= imprezzed.
