Good body shops for 7's.

I want to take care of all the little spots of rust that are just dying to come out, however I'd be more satisfied knowing that it's going to someone that has experience with these cars and all the usual spots that they go bad in. Quality is first, then price, I don't want the cancer to start coming back in a year or something. The car is an S4 TII, and I just want the thing to look as mint as it did the day it rolled off the production line. A respray of the entire car would be nice too.

I have a couple of shops in mind, however I don't have any idea on how much experience they have with FCs. I'm in Richmond Hill, Ontario, however I don't mind going for a drive if it's worth it.

So, if anybody's got some good references, that would be greatly appreciated, thanks (Y).

Any COMPETENT body shop should be able to handle it. Make sure your floor is ok, and any of the crevises around the tailights, bottoms of the doors, etc. Body work is body work, just make sure they have a good rep. Quality comes at a price, so how much do you love your car.
