|
Can anyone recommend an honest paint and body shop in San Antonio Texas. I'm looking for someone who knows type 1 beetles, not just your average shop. Also, someone who does quality work.
Thank you.

I just stumbled across Jeff Lilly Restorations in San Antonio.
He isn't per say a VW specialist, but this Gia he restored looks beautiful:

Anyone have any experience with Jeff?
