Where should I take my car to be fixed in Houston? Construction truck ran into the driver door and back panel. They are paying for it all. Should the car be completely repainted? Thanx

I agree with Richey and paint the entire car since they are paying for it.

Another vote for Richey Collision. I just picked up my Z06 after they repainted the rear fascia from being rear-ended. It looks perfect.

Probably depends on the color of your Vette. The shop ours is currently at here in Austin is having a tough time matching the paint. Ours is MY.

Richey touched-up some paint on my Anniversary Red Corvette. This is tough paint for most to match. Not for Richey!!! Awesome job!!
Corvettes of Houston exclusively uses Richey.

Oh how can u find a shop according to the color of your car?
That must be for Austin only?

I agree that some shops would have prob's w/matching the colors but I'm also voting for Richey's. I'd say that is the only place I would take it and I have seen them matching the pain to perfection!

rICHEY'S is supposed good; if the damage is extensive, I would recommend Carney's Corvettes on the north 610 loop (near main).
