Accident - need bodyshop in LA

Just goes to show you that you are safer on the track than with the idiots on the road!

A guy cut from the left turn lane across two lanes to the right turn lane on a green light. Nowhere to go. Luckily it was in a neighborhood and was going slow.

It's a clam, light, side marker.

I'm in Glendale. Please advise on the best bodyshop for estimate and repairs.

Thanks

Julio at Mulholland Motorsports (DentWerks) in L.A.

He is currently working/managing Mulholland Motorsports in LA. The shop is the newly founded sister company to Dent Werks.

He knows the Lotus cars front to back and can handle just about any work you might need.

The best painters with Lotus paint.

All cars are under car covers when not being worked on.

And they can get a rental car for you quickly and easily.

Julio
Mulholland Motorsports
8630 West Pico Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90035
(310) 360 0948

Tell Julio that Charlie sent you for the best price.

SCC has done all my work, and tons of Loti.
I'm sure you have heard of them....talk to Steve and tell him Eddie sent you....
Here is his work on my car:

He custom filled in my turn signals for me and all the ugly seams:



He also, courtesy painted my engine covers

My car is with Julio at Mulholland Motorsports/Dent Werks right now, getting the front clam replaced.

Also Stephan formerly with Lotus Beverly Hills is with Julio now.

+1 for Julio & Stephan!

Not to threadjack, but what color is that Elise? Persian blue?

Oh, and sorry about your car... people can't even change across one lane properly, never mind thee. I'm glad we don't have 5 lane highways on Long Island, although two lanes did the job just fine for my car.

By the way, Julio repaired my front clam damage, and re-did my StarShield/VentureShield.

Beautiful work and great prices.

He is also going to set me up with a new exhaust that he has on his personal Exige.

I'll post info on that when I get it...

Another +1 for Julio. They are pretty much a full service Lotus shop. The paint quality is better than stock.

I recommend specialty too. I'll be bringing my Lotus there some time before the end of the year for some aesthetic mods. Steve is very familiar and comfortable with Lotus cars. Great customer service too!
