So I moved from Atlanta to take a job in North Carolina a couple of months ago.

This past week I was driving down I-95 and a transfer truck dropped a chunk of steel and I hit it. It caved my floor pan in. I need a good shop to get it repaired in. I live in Benson (near Raleigh). Any advice about a reputable shop would be appreciated.

By the way I got a rental today..... A FORD FIESTA!!!

 

Welcome to N.C Well dam that sucks, There is also a chat thread for our members more near your area. Pretty sure somebody will chime in and or see this thread and can probably help you out.

 

Cant think of the name off hand but one of the top shops I have heard in the past is just west of Charlotte in Indian Trail.

 

i know a REALLY good body shop in marietta, Ga. pm me for info.

 

LOL, he's in Raleigh, guys...pretty sure he's looking for a place near there. Tyler...are you with us? Wake up and post. Help this guy out...I know you know somewhere.

 

Was on phone and missed that.

 

Thanks for all the replies, but the CL is totaled.

Looking for a car now.

Foot is screwed up from the accident. It really does suck. I hate that the CL is gone. I REALLY loved that car. I do have to say that Geico took really good care of me and was fair with the settlement. Now I have to deal with the injury. Thinking about a TL this go around.

 

Sorry to hear that, on both counts. Good luck with the recovery and the car search . The 3G is a great car.

 

Totaled from a caved floor pan? Why not buy the car back and get that shit welded and throw the rest into mods? Is there more you didn't mention?

 

Damn, I'm just now seeing this. The only shops I know of aren't cheap by any means.

Sorry to see the CL was totaled

 

I too know a nice collision shop, but it's in Atlanta...

for what it's worth, I came from an 01 CL-S (not 6spd like yours though) and I absolutely love my 08 TL-S (6speed this time)

I wish you a speedy recovery!

 

A friend of mine's sister has a white 03 CL-S Auto she's been thinking about selling.

Yeah it was alot worse than just the pan....

It got the floor pan, the seat is broken, the cradle, the trans has a big chunk out of it. The fire wall is screwed the carpet has a big gash in it.... It almost came in the car with me. The estimate by Geico was 8600.00 to repair + mechanical. It clipped the air bag wires and a bunch of other shit. It is gonr now. The state listed it as NOT REPAIRABLE so I could not purchase it back and ever put it back on the road. The VIN is dead.

Oh well I will just drive my truck for a while and see what I can get going. Look in the for sale section....
I have an OEM Honda Tbelt. water pump and drive belts I am listing tonight. Also have other new parts that never got installed like Camber kits front and rear also Moog radius bushing set.

Thanks for all of your responses. Gotta get the foot fixed after Christmas

 

Glad to hear your semi okay though, I may take dibs on the tbelt water pump and belts. pm me before you put them up with a price for everything.
