My 1990 sillver C2 received some minor damage (small paint scratch and dents on both sides and broken rear center reflector) as a result of a shopping cart attack - I think it was vandalism but the carts may have been blown by strong winds (very strong). I'm now searching for a good body shop to fix the mess.

I live in Arlington but don't mind travelling to MD for a good shop. I think the PCA hosted an event recently at a new MD shop. Has anyone worked with this new business and would you recommend them? I hear Wagon Werks near Crystal City is popular but I have no expereince with them either. Please advise - thank you!

I took my Volvo to Wagen Works based on the good rep given here. They did a nice job.

Lewis who owns Karossorie does excellent work and is honest and dependable. His shop is behind BMW of Fairfax.

I will vouch for Karosserie and Wagon Works which are both in your area. In Maryland, I know Kurz does good work also.

Euro Pro's in Gaithersburg was the place where we had a club meeting in March. They do excellent work and have a very complete, modern facility. The shop principals are formerly from Wagon Werks. I've been happy with two vehicles they done for me and I know of many other club members who been happy with work from Euro Pro's.

Karosserie may be good with older cars but I was unhappy with two late model cars they did for me, a 99 Silver 996 that they didn't match the paint on very well and a 99 Silver Audi that they returned to me with a very visible blend line in the rear quarter. They don't have a permanent paint booth and don't seem to be able to handle the kind of paint (water-based, clear coat) that comes on later model cars.

Hey Karl, our cars are on the DV mag for this month from the Euro Pro's PCA meeting back in March. Are you staying away from those tire walls?
