My '88 vanagon GL Westy is in extreme need of some body work and paint job. I want a good place that knows how to do it right, and am willing to foot the bill accordingly. I know of roadhaus and vcarshops, but the reviews are ambiguous at best, and i do not want to trust my van and $ to ambiguous.

If anyone can point me in a good direction, it would be a godsend. Only post I've seen is 5 yrs dead and in the end, the poster does not recommend where he went.

Ken Wilford at Vanagain just recommended the Maaco in Turnersville, NJ in a Facebook post. I used a Maaco in Montgomery County and wasn't terribly impressed. YMMV. Might check with Ken.

Ask your insurance company for recommendations. Print off a few pages from the stickies about seam rust,etc. and ask the shop estimator to give you a price based on "doing it right".
