Body shop in Manchester, NH
All,
Well, I almost have the mechanical work done on my car. The next step is the body work. I need to get her painted, a couple rust spots cleaned up, and a couple dings taken out. Anyone have any recomendations for body shops in the Manchester, NH area? Quality is of the utmost concern, however cost does become a factor. I had stopped by a shop on Saturday, and was told around $2200. I have no experience with having a car painted, so if I would also appreciate some guestimates on what kind of price I'm looking at from the group. Since I was lead to believe it makes a difference, the car is Tornado Red. Thank you in advance. Enjoy Bill 91 Audi 200TQ 96 Chevy K1500 |

If they will do it for that price and have good references, go for it. |

Sullivan Tire just can't get them right (after three tries). Of course, if nothing else is available, I'll be dropping it off at the dealer... Thanks. Victor |

I don't know about the custom wheels aspect, but Town Fair Tire (I think
that's the name, right across from Home Depot), has treated me very well between this car and a few others.

I visited them before I went to Sullivan Tire, and their quote was about $100 more, so I decided to save some money... You know, penny wise... I didn't have to pay extra to Sullivan for additional balancing, but the problem is, the car is still shaking at speeds above 60... And they say they've done all they can... Three times... I'll stop by Town Fair Tire this Saturday, on my way to Home Depot :-) I wonder how much they charge for just balancing the wheels. Oh, for others who read this, Town Fair Tire rotates wheels for free.

Re: Wheel work
I have heard about 17 inch wheels getting bent from pot holes. They can
be straightened.
