Hey. I just moved to the Fort Walton Beach area and am preemptively looking for any words -- good or bad -- on nearby dealers. Also (this time not preemptive), anyone know of a good place to get some body work done? I need a rocker panel (C6) repaired after stupid curb jumped out of nowhere.
Leo's Automotive in Pensacola, Florida is pretty "Hip" on Corvette repairs. He and his staff only work on corvettes. He is located on "W" Street. Telephone: (850) 429-1560. Good Luck

I did the same thing with my C5. Preston Hood Chevrolet in FWB has a very good body shop. They replaced my entire rocker panel and the paint match, even though it was black, was perfect.
To any who may need similar info in the future, I took my car to Chuck's Auto Body in FWB. The estimate and cost were reasonable, and the repair isn't noticeable at all. They even had someone pick me up when it was done 'cause I wasn't able to get dropped off myself.

I heard they were good but I didn't know if they had any Corvette experience. Good info to know. Glad you got a good fix.
