Default Which detailing shop

Alright guys,
Im in need of some opinions.

Which shops around roanoke have the best reputation for their detailing work?

We need old tint removed from the windows - so we want it done right. Also, we need the exterior completely redone - clay bar/buff/wax/etc.

Name some places you'd recommend we get all that done at.

Also, where are some reputable body shops around here to get some paintwork done?

Thanks

I am not sure about the detailing shop, but as far as paint and bodywork goes, I have always been good with certified collision in salem. They do good work.

As for the body shop, I would personally suggest Woodings or Cuz's.

For paint, Woodings would be my first choice. Cuz's probably a not-so-close second. Not that there is anything wrong with them, but Woodings is by far the best.

Notice I didn't say cheapest...

Sounds like Woodings is the place to go then. I'll take the car down to them sometime next week and get a quote for everything.

How much do you thing most shops charge for a complete respray? Not repaint like strip down to the bare, just a respray on top to make everything look new again.

I'm very happy with the work Wooding's did on my front bumper, I'll definitely be using them again.

There's wooding detailing shop on Apperson, I've dealt with them before - they're good guys.

Doesn't Woody's brother run the body shop Woodings? Or am i confused.

If they both run those two businesses then I'll just get my body work done by Woody's brother and the detailing done by Woody.

Yes,Woody runs the detail shop-the only one i'd use around here since most are just bodegas,and Norwood runs the body shop(and they're one of only a couple body shops i'd trust around here).
I'd say it'd probably be around $3k for a same color respray if there's not much body work needed(and it doesn't appear there is).
