Looking for any recommendations for fiberglass body work in Red Bay.
We recently had our coach towed and slightly crushed the bottom 1-2 inches of the front cap in the process. I would like to get it fixed when we are in Red Bay next spring. Any recommendations on a shop to do this would be appreciated.
Coach is 2019 Tiffin 37BH.

Thanks in advance
Ed

I highly recommend Bruce Deaton at Custom Paint and Body (256) 356-5695. They are right on the corner at the entrance to the main plant and do great work. I have not had them for body work but they painted the ends of my slides and did a great job. I saw some of their work while I was there and it's first rate. You will definitely want to schedule as far out as possible as they stay busy. They also have some water and electric hookups in a lot next to the shop for overnight stay while they work in the daytime.

I would strongly recommend Jeff Pharr at Red Bay Body Shop. They did a fantastic job for me at a very reasonable cost

I agree. Bruce and his guys have done a couple of repairs for me and I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the repairs. Good folks.

I would agree that Bruce Deaton is the best in Red Bay, better even than Tiffin. Don't procrastinate though as appointments are hard to get. Right now may be too late to get an early spring date!!

Completed the repairs at Bruce Denton's Custom Paint today. Repairs and paint look good as or better than new. The shop worked with the local Progressive adjuster so that my cost was my deductable + $9. And Bruce touched up some chips on my entry door and a spot on a leading edge of one slide out within the insurance payout (so no cost to me). (YMMV)
The one timing mistake I made was not scheduling the Progressive adjuster to meet us at the shop the day I arrived. So this delayed the work 2 days and I was told that had the adjuster been busy it could have delayed us a week or more. Lesson learned.
Overall very happy with the overall experience - insurance and Custom Paint.
