    Can anyone recommend a superb body/paint shop in Reno/Carson City area that does QUALITY work? Who would you trust your f-car with? Thank you for any feedback :)

    There's a really small shop called Reno Auto Body here in Reno. It looks like a hole in the wall and doesn't look appealing from the road, but they do exceptional paint and body work. I know a few Ferrari owners that take their car there.

    Mang- There is also Gilson's located on Glendale. They handle mostly Mercedes, Porsches and BMWs. When my SL needed body work, my insurance company would only send it to Gilson's. It also turned out that the Mercedes Dealer only sends their cars there.

    Gil is also familiar with Mangustas, and he had checked one out for me in Carson City, before I bought one.

    He is a good guy, a real car guy.

    I was with Barry today for a little bit; he said your blue beast will be good as new. Let us know how it goes!
