I know this is off topic but I wanted to reach out to the southwest (Texas) folks.
Can anyone suggest a good body shop to work on a 07 Maserati Sport GT?
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Fwiw, just had a somewhat lousy experience at Sewell's body shop (they have one for the three dealerships on I45) with my Infiniti. Paint work was fine but the bumper cover they R&R'd was not aligned right when I picked the car up. Also had to go back for weather strip put on wrong, fog light didn't work, fasteners cross threaded, wrong fasteners used. They managed to scratch the new paint trying to fix the above. Finally gave up and went to their parts dept and got the correct fasteners, went home and polished out the scratch myself - really wasn't too bad, just a scuff in the clear.

Just my $0.02, hope you have a better experience it you go there, but seriously consider Richey.

There are a lot of positive threads on here about them.

I guess they don't like Maserati's. Two phone calls into them. They never returned calls......
