Damn, sorry that you got hit. Try Stingray's in Purcellville, they did a nice repair job on my '85.

Call Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg for a recommendation, they should be able to help.

A place highly recommended in my other car club is Wogaon Works (spelling?) in Alexandria right off of Route1. Apparently, like all good shops, they are backed up with work though.

Actually, I believe that it is "Wagen Werks" (they got their start in repairing VWs). Also, there is East Coast Autobody in Manassas.

Loudoun Collision Center also does good work, just down the Street from Stingray's in Purcellville. Sorry to hear about the damage, good luck.

I've had my 2000 Mag Red II coupe at Jim McKay Chevy in Fairfax for body work three times - they did a fine job. I've used Pohanka Collision Center (Chantilly/Fairfax) for body work once on another car and they did an excellent job.

Now if I can just keep from getting rear ended or backed into by yo-yos who can't drive.....

Is Loudoun Collision also called Terry's?

A guy at work had his Z06 rear ended and took it to Stingrays. They kept it a long time and said they had to repaint it more than once, they just could not get the color right. He finally picked it up and decided to sell it so he took it to an apraiser and the guy inspected the car. He said the body work was perfect but the paint was poor. He then pointed out all the flaws (which the buyer noticed on first glance )
This kind of turned me off to the place.

A bunch of people at work recommended "Terry's" and said it was near Stingrays. I'm not sure if this is the same place but Terry's received great praise from some of the "car guys" at work.

Let us know what you decide.

Terry's is on Hirst Road about 1/4 mile from Stingrays & Loudoun Collision (directly across Route 7). There are alot of body shops in that small area ... can be confusing.
