I found it was hard to find a body show that would work on my old Jeep I am building. Most of them just want the auto insurance claims and its quick and fast money. I went to 5 body shops before I found one that would even give me a bid. Then I a friend told me about a body shop he worked at. So I took it there to get all the work done. They quoted me 6 weeks and I got it back 7 months later. So I would really look into the body shop you pick.

If your looking for something that is a cut above Maico but wont break the bank then Crook Bros. in Downey can do you a good job. If your looking for top notch custom then Lanzini in HB is where I would go.

My truck is currently at Elite Auto Body in El Monte (I got t-boned). They did another car for me, color matched all the plastic on my 2500 HD and recently did work for my brother's gf. The shop is owned by 3 brothers who are all very cool, professional and do quality work.

When you go to car shows all your resources are right in front of you all you have to do is ask any owner and they'll gladly point you in the right direction. Just my .02 cents...

Ahhhh.... the cost of doing business. I'd lose my hair with all that liability rolling the streets. They always seem to come in spurts too. When I was managing a fleet, there were times when all was good, then bam...one after the other after another. Shit I had two body shops on my list so I could have quick turn around. You guys should look into some driver training for your guys. We use Smith training at work. Definitely creates an awareness.
