Default Recommend a Body Shop in South Florida

Hello guys & gals...
I can't believe that I am posting this with only owning the Vette for 4 days now!

Last night I was behind a pickup truck at a stop sign and all of the sudden, the guy backed up, hitting my Vette! The damage is very minimal and most of it was rubbed out with a wet micro fiber. The main problem is that the right headlight housing is pushed back about 1cm at the bottom and 0.5cm at the top of its normal position. The damage is only noticable when up close and looking for it.

Anyway, I have to take it for repair and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good shop that is familiar with Vettes. The closer to Boca Raton the better.

Thanks in advance... DTG.

Wow, what a bummer. I'm not big on Chevrolet dealers but because your car is brand new, what about your local dealer for repair or perhaps they should know the best body shop in town? Good luck.

Lou Bachrodt Chev would probably be your best bet in that area for just body work...

Thanks guys. I went to 3 shops this morning, two shops that are in Boca Raton that work on high end cars both quoted me $1k, Lou Bachrodt quoted me $1,280. I made an appointment with Lou next week. I figure the Chevy dealer/body shop knows the Vette best.
