Dave Keena's House of Kolor on Ryan just south of 13 Mile on the east side of the street. Doesn't get any better then him in the Metro Detroit area. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. When he says it will be done, it will be done on time, no hassles and you've never seen better paint and graphics. Has had many Detroit Autorama winners come out of his shop.

39664 Ryan
Sterling Hts,48310
586 751 0190

Got another one that would be a second choice for you, also on the east side but I don't have the info here. Will post it tomorrow for you. Good luck

Yo LA, sorry to hear of your ordeal but glad to hear everyone is ok. Too bad about the 37. Am sure things will iron out, no pun intended, in time.

That's real bad about your car. I never heard about that accident. Rockford was only about 20 miles from my house and i had a trailor which we could have got you all set up too. Hope everything works out well.

I'm the Mikey that dont eat everything!

Try and locate someone from the M.S.R.A. Those guys run the repair shop at the Nat's. Lots of them are in the business. I know one has a shop in Redford, I think it's on 5mi. but can't remember. Some are Thurston grads, a lot younger then me but we talk at the Nats. yearly. Good luck.
