Car got HIT!!!!
My buddy’s 2003 vert was hit on the passenger side door. The rocker panel, door jam and rear quarter are cracked. I know it sucks!!!! The door and window function properly. Can anyone recommend a repair shop in San Diego or Southern Orange county, Ca? I would prefer that those who respond have had recent work performed by these shops. Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Remember that most things in life can be fixed with either time or money! Keep your chin up and remember that it can look as good as it did again....or better!

They're more central than south O.C., but I recommend European Motor Car Works in Santa Ana.

They do a lot of work on high end , expensive cars (which means, they ain't cheap), and they've done all the bodywork on my car.

No idea about a body shop recommendation, but good luck to your buddy in getting his car fixed.
