I'm looking for a DIY friendly body shop that does great work. Any recommendations? I'm taking a road trip and looking for a shop outside of the DC area to leave a front bumper and 1LE splitter to be painted. I'm de-trimming them and delivering them ready to prep and paint.

Stingrays auto body in Purcellville, I worked in that shop for a while- Owners are family. Don’t let my New Mexico location fool you. I was born in the old hospital in Leesburg and raised in western Loudoun.

Thanks for the recommendation! I called Stingrays Auto body. They need to see the car for an accurate estimate (completely reasonable). I work in DC and haven't been able to make it to Purcellville before they close.

I've visited a few body shops in NoVA. They see I've removed the grills/trim pieces and don't want the work.

I'll try 1 or 2 more places and the cars going to Texas for paint and stored for 2 months in a family members garage.

Any other recommended shops? I'll be in Houston in the near future. The car can be stored for 1-2 months in a relatives garage while the paint fully cures. I've explored my options here in Northern VA and determined this probably isn't the place to repair my bumper. Thanks.
