Body shop near the Springs? - LotusTalk

Riddlefox · 12-02-2008, 07:46 PM

Does anyone have any recommendations for good body shops near Colorado Springs? I scraped the front 'lip' on the driver's side bumper, and need to get it patched, plus someone scraped/dropped something on the front 'hood' and left gouges down to the fiberglass underneath

I would suggest calling the corvette-specific used car dealership off of Hampden in Denver and see who they suggest. I dont have the actaul name of the dealership unfortunately.

Try Crestone. They're a bit north on Colo Springs, though, off South Santa Fe in Highlands Ranch (between C-470 and Highlands ranch Parkway).

They've handled lots of exotics and a few Elises, including touching up the nose of mine. They did a great job and it was on time!

I recommend Karle Coachworks (note, their website is typical of local companies, which is to say, pretty poor

); I've never done business with them but my wife is long time friends with the family that runs that shop, they've been in business a long time. Very good people (and convenient location for us Springs-area folk). If I ever need work done, that'll be the first place I go.

Finally got the Lotus to Karle Coachworks and the car looks better than new. They did a really good job for a reasonable price and I would take it back there any time!
