Default Body shop for swb 912
Got rear ended Sun. on the way to Summit Point at a traffic light; by my wife, no less !
Any recommendations on a body shop for what appears to be minor work to rt. rear quarter and bumper ?
Prefer shops near Winchester.
Thanks,
Steve

can't speak to winchester specific, but if you do a search for body shop, there will be a dozen or so threads.. most mentioning Europros or Wagonwerks but I am sure there are other places mixed in.

Sorry to hear of the damage Take a pic.. share the fun!

Sterling Collision in Winchester is said to be very good. They have an old school painter who is skilled and a newer more advanced paint booth as well.

I hope you find a good shop for your 912.
Have you found a good doctor for your wife?

Found a shop near Wardensville, WV that has done complete restorations on a couple of 356's; Triumphs; etc., but primarily into Detroit iron.
Took the car to him Mon., said it would be ready today !
For about 1/3 what I expected to pay; I'll let you know how it turned out.
Wife is fine; no physical retribution as I wouldn't trust her after I went to sleep !
But, the incident has improved our relationship.
