I recently suffered some light damage to my 05 Coupe. A tree fell, many branches hitting it, leaving many minor scratches, and one significant hit to the removable top.
Any experience or recommendations for a quality shop in the Ptld or I-5 corridor area?

Well monoloco, I thought you would get more responses here. Guess I was wrong.

Do you think your `05 will need a complete repaint? Replace the top panel? Will the repairs be covered by auto insurance?

I am in Eugene and, luckily, have not needed the services of a body shop, so I don't have any first-hand recommendations for you. In our area, MetalWorks is a highly rated restoration and streetrod shop. M&G Auto Body is definately a "high-end" shop. Both will be expensive.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks for the ideas. I did get one response with suggestions for the Ptld area. We actually live in Waldport, but travel to Ptld often. I have scheduled a date with a local Newport shop that I have had good experience with for other cars. With the Corvette, I am obviously more particular, so a bit unsure, wanting to consider options.
There is one significant impact on the roof panel (the body colored one). Otherwise the scratches are minor. Some will be buffed out. The worst ones I assume will need touch up work and the blending of paint is my worry. Total respray probably not in the works.
