Here's the deal, as with most 3rd gens in the North East mine has a little problem with rust. Overall the car is in great shape but there is one thing that will need some attention soon.

Under the hood of my GTA you have the 2 strut towers. The one on the driver side has a lot of rust and you can see little pin holes that go all the way through. Basically I am waiting to hit a really good bump or pothole and watch the shock come shooting through my hood.

I brought the car to my local body shop and they can cut out the rust, weld in a new plate and pop a new shock in there. However, these guys were a little on the pricey side and I don't know anyone that ever used them before. Anyone have any recommendations for a shop that could do something like this?

Thanks!

I would take it to a shop with a good reputation for something like that.
