Canadian Restoration Shops

lmao wasnt this the exact conversation that we had this afternoon Steve ? nice to see you and again awesome camaro

Yessir Ryan, I am VERY skeptical of any shop that I have never dealt with. The horror stories I've heard about all the shops mentioned here are absolutely ludicrous. Unless there was someone I personally knew that could vouch for a shop 100% ... trust no one !



I've seen quotes for body/paint for same car from $18,000 to $70,000 ... In all fairness though the reality is these shops have absolutely no idea what is under the current paint. Start scratching the surface of some of these cars and all of a sudden the roof needs to be replaced, a door etc... so labour goes through the roof. Thus the reason many shops won't even touch these cars anymore, and rates vary the way they do.

There is one guy north of me here, he's a PITA, he's slow (because he's so meticulous) BUT he does KILLER work and his rates are reasonable. I hate to recommend him because he is a pain, and he's slow ... BUT if you dont want your car back for a year he's your man.

Cheers
Steve
