Default Auto body shops in the Somerville NJ area

I need a recommendation of a body shop that I can trust to fix some fiberglass and repaint / blend Laguna Blue. I'm in Somerville NJ and I'd like to stay close and I'm paying cash, it was my screw up and I'm not going through insurance. Any help would be appreciated as I'm sick right now that my baby has a boo boo.

Typically they don't repair the composite panels on a Vette, they replace them.

With the cost of paint and materials alone never mind parts body repairs are expensive.

Given you have such a new car I would really want a great job done - whatever it costs...

I don't know whether this place will work on a Corvette, but if they will there is no better shop within a long range from you. They are down just over the river where Finderne Ave becomes Main Street in Manville.

They do all factory/dealership work for Paul Miller Porsche/Audi/Bentley, etc... Insane quality if you want it.

Good luck with your search and repair.

Funny you say that, the guy who tinted my windows recommended them as well so I'm planning on going to see Doug on Friday. Thanks

I had foreign specialities fix and paint a small gash in my Laguna Blue C7. They did a nice job. They blended the paint and only painted one corner of the bumper cover. Even in bright sunlight, you can't see the repair. Cost $325/done in one day.

The fix is perfect in my opinion, I can't even tell where it's blended by seeing different concentration of the metal flake. I'm very happy with the results. Hopefully I'll never need to return there but if there is a need I'll go back!
