Default first accident

Ok bound to happen had my first accident with the vette.

long story short pickup pulled illegal u turn from parking space, in front of me, I could not stop in time. It was one of those slow mo moments.

anyway any suggestions on a good body shop in union county NJ.... thinking of using (if they have the service) the Chevy dealer I was recommended to for mechanical work...

thanks.

I never needed body work on my Vette. Been lucky. I have used MotorCity in Newark. They are on Ferguson St. They have always done outstanding work on my other cars. I have seen plenty of Vettes being worked on. I know they do alot of fiberglass work.
