It's gaining popularity since the Royal Oak cops seem to be cracking down on the normal spots lately. When I was there, it seemed like a more mature crowd.

Well last Saturday I parked my car in my parent's driveway, and most definitely and assuredly did not forget to set the parking brake and leave the car in gear. Then a tree came up and kicked my car then dragged it back to give it some hard wood up the tailpipe.

Thanks

Yikes, that sucks.

I just got my car back today from Zahn's Auto Body in Ann Arbor. They basically had to replace a broken tail light, refinish and paint the rear bumper where there were a few deep scratches. I felt they did a good job. Zahn's was recommended to me as it was the closest for me from Battle Creek.

Good luck.

I also had a bump job on my WRX done at Autometric in Royal Oak. Good body work and paint but they missed the grommets for the rear spoiler seal so just do a thorough check before and after- if you can't stop in periodically from time to time to see how it's coming- have them go over everything they did. My STI was in a different body shop for over 2 months and I was there at least every other week to check on the work. Unfortunately, I can't recommend that shop due to paint issues that surfaced later on before I got rid of it.





Separate topic, spotted an Asphalt FR-S on the East end of the Chrysler Tech Center at about 5pm today, and a WRB BRZ on Square Lake and Crooks shortly after. Anybody here?

I have used Whitney's Body Shop on South Main...

Once already, twice soon.

They know the car, they do DAMN good work and well, I've trusted them twice now.

They do ALL of the A2 PD vehicles, and just about every insurance company I have seen, drops their cars off

I'll second that I had them paint a car and for the price they went above and beyond what I expected. I will be out and about at the dream cruise this weekend showing off the srt and the fr-s while handing out some business cards for my race shop and my reality group. If anyone is going to be out there come say hi. We also have an srt cruising woodward with a sign that says "I'm a lemon". The car has had nothing but problems and srt has blatently told me that they do not care that the car does not work properly and I should have done my research before buying it. If you see it we encourage you to post pictures of it. I feel that if the American car companies want to make a rebound they need to take better care of their customers and deliver a better product.

Sent from my Q10

I work in Auburn Hills and live in Bloomfield Hills. It's too difficult to get down to A2 for an estimate. I went to Autometric in Pontiac and got one estimate. Hopefully insurance will handle most of it.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
