Default Need Some Advice

I have a 2009 Coupe with 18,000 with some front end damage and possible frame damage. I live in western KY and need a shop that can do frame work if needed. Someone has recommended Feezor Restoration in Paduach, KY. Anyone know of their work? Also, is there anywhere in Bowling Green, Owensboro, KY or Evansville, IN anyone would recommend? I have it at a very good local place, but they are worried about the possible frame damage.


Thanks in advance. Mike

I would find a dealer for the best repair. Check out the body shop before you commit.

I'd stay as far away from a dealership as I could!

You should be looking for a collision shop that has a frame straightening machine. Not a dealership.

I have a friend in Bowling Green who recently had some front end damage to a Z06 that was repaired by 3B Automotive in BG. I think it was mostly cosmetic and no frame work - their web page shows they have frame repair equipment though. My friend happens to know quite a bit about Vettes and paint & body...

Good luck!
