North NJ area body shops?

[APZak]

Anyone know of quality body shops in northern nj? Turn out my uncle is busy moving and can't help me repair my rusted floor pans so I need to pay someone to do it.

Thanks

I would use Paterek Brothers in Chatham, NJ. Don't have their number off hand, but someone else will. They are regarded as the best on the East Coast. If you want them bad enough, just look them up. NNJR members, and super-enthusiasts. They are usually one of the major judges in the area's important concourses.

I second that, i used to work at a shop next door too paterek and they do A class quality work. Although i believe they are pricey.

Pricey and I understand tough to get into the "rotation." They're pretty darn backed-up....
