Made 3 trips to fizz this past month and was never open. BTW I drove from Aurora. Not planning on taking another 1 hour and 30 minutes drive over there. I talked to David at Touge Factory and he recommended a body shop in Elk Grove that does all their work.

If you would like another option try Albany Auto.

http://www.albanyautochicago.com

Very professional folks who happen to be car junkies.

Second generation family business.

They repaired some door/rear fender damage to my Q50 after a valet did what valets do. They also repainted the hood that had a large scratch from cement flying during highway jackhammering.

The car came out perfect and they are really easy to work with.
