Local Paint Shops


from Club member Paul Waite: I just wanted to let everyone know that my brother and me both had Carlo do some paint and body repairs on our cars. This is my brother’s ‘76 Volvo that was completely repainted and required some patching. My daily driver was hit in the door and Carlo was able to quickly repair and paint that as well. We are very happy with the work, and appreciate getting the reference from Club member Mark Douglas.
