Sure.
All in all I'm happy with the work done. And I'm pretty anal about work that I pay others to do.
The rust repair to the front suspension area was done well, and looks very similar to the factory finish. The battery box repair was done well, and looks like nothing was ever done. They also did some other work for me while the car was there, and identified some things I could address on my own when the car came back to me. Body work and attention to detail are considerably better than other body shops I've worked with in the past.
There was one small spot elsewhere on the pan where the rust was repaired & welded, but it wasn't finished/painted (the size of a quarter). I haven't had a chance to take it back to Greg, but he was no fuss about correcting it. I will probably just do it myself since it's easier than taking two trips down to Manassas. In retrospect I would have taken more time to check over the car before accepting it. The drive down there in traffic was draining and I wasn't really on my game. Greg did give me multiple opportunities to come down and look at the car while he had it , and I did so once, but generally my work & family schedule prevented me from doing so.
Cost was higher than I expected, but not ridiculous. It took longer than expected, but also not ridiculous. This is just me comparing the end result with other shops myself or close friends have worked with. Communication was good.
Greg and the staff are easy to work with, and they obviously enjoy what they're doing. He was quick to share his vast knowledge on the car.
