Default Good Michigan Body shops?

My 04 Monte got the hell pounded out of it in the recent storms/hail that went through Chelsea/Dexter/Ann Arbor a few nights ago. Anyone know a good body shop in the Ann Arbor/Toledo/Detroit areas?

Thanks.

I swear by Mason Auto Body. They did the Deuce my 2006 Monte (including the hood and spyder stripes with custom lettering) and Sally my 2004 Monte Ask for Jeff tell him Tadd La Duke refered you (The dude with the red custom Monte)
He will get you a great job for a honest price.

They are in Mason MI hope this isn't too far for you. I feel it would be worth it

their link is here ----> Home Page

Yeah, your car looks great. I guess I'm tired of getting my car(s) fixed and I get it back and they have all kinds of orange peel and it looks worse that the rest of the car even with them "blending" it and all. The body shop guys always say it's hard to match the factory finish but it seems to me they don't even try to come close!

Mason is about 62 miles from me, (I'm in Clinton, MI near Ann Arbor), so the ride isn't too bad. How's the orange peel on your cars you had painted at the Mason body shop?

Thanks.

Thanks.

thanks for the complement!
Jeff don't let a car leave the shop with orange peel. The hood is like looking into a clear mirror. They do a great job matching the paint too.

Mason auto body also has a lifetime warrenty on their work

Default Monte body work

Tadcaster,

I'm having the body work done at Mason body shop. The other place I was considering was going to take 3-4 weeks plus another week to wait for a rental car! My Monte would be gone the WHOLE Spring!

Thanks for the recommendation.

I havent had any work done by them.....Or know anyone that did...
Everyone i know goes to RONYs !!!

When I had work done at RONYs Body Shop.......

They were fast....they were very concerned about the fit and finish...

To look at the work on my truck they did...you'd never know it was ever Damaged! and the Paint was a perfect match!!! on a truck that was then 5 yrs old !!!!
Still Today...3 yrs later.....It looks like it was never touched!!!!!
You wont be sorry with there work!
Its Guaranteed!!!!!!

(COME ON BY CHECKOUT MY TRUCK) I THINK YOULL BE MORE THAN SATISFIED !!!!
I live at Champaign and Pelham....(by Champaign park) in Taylor

FOR MY MONEY! ITS RONYS BODY SHOP!!! besides if you did go to mason michigan...what if you have to take it back?
Thats a long way to go from southgate....(if thats where u live)....Taylor is so much closer..to southgate..

apparently..you live in my neck of the woods....if you know about Eureka body and fender..

come a cpl more miles north and west...to RONYS.....ON ALLEN RD BETWEEN NORTHLINE AND GODDARD....

Did i mention all my Vehicles are BLACK?

Be sure to ask for Jeff.... Tell him Tadd LaDuke sent you (The dude with the custom red monte) I am taking Sally there this summer for some work. maybe he will cut us both slack on the estimate (LOL)

I've always left there more than happy. When they did my hood I was in shock how good the car looked.
