Default Good body shop in Sarasota/Tampa area?

I am going to be needing some body work done soon and wonder if some of the local guys can give away their secret body shops that do the work for them. Also what is their pricing like? Thanks for the help

I've heard eldridge body shop in Sarasota is good, but they've never done anything on my car.

Where are you at?

i live in sarasota off univ parkway. I have taken my car to Gulf Coast Auto Body. He does really good work but not a lot of custom stuff. He mostly does Jags, Mercedes and BMW accident and dealership stuff. Where is eldridge located at? Also where are you located at?

Oh ok. I will have to check them out. I wonder if they would be willing to do custom work. Gulf Coast Auto Body is also on clark road. They have done so much for me and it is always excellent but the next thing I have planned he doesnt really sound too enthused about, so I may have to get someone else to do it.

I am planning on getting the Wald executive kit and having it molded to the stock bumpers. The guy I go to now does great work but he really hates doing custom stuff. He did a lot of custom stuff on my durango and he did my WIN kit, which he said was a perfect fit with no modifications, so he was surprised by that. But I would just like to see what is out there for competetive prices.
