5 /5 Sebastian Morton: After a mishap that left the fiberglass side skirts of my Lotus Evora 400 crushed, I was dreading the repair process. Finding a shop that even touches fiberglass repairs these days is a challenge—most places will just tell you its easier (and cheaper) to replace the parts outright. Since the fiberglass body panel is actually the quarter panel, door sill, and front fender the Lotus dealership wanted almost $12,000 to replace. But replacing them wasnt what I wanted, so I needed to find a place that still values the art of repair. Thats when I came across Harolds Auto Repair.
Ill admit, the shop doesnt look like much from the outside—its a modest, no-frills place. But dont let that fool you. Bob, the owner, and his team of technicians are masters of their craft. They took on the fiberglass repair with skill and precision, bringing the damaged side skirts back to life, then I also had them repaint to repair all rock chips on the surface of the door sills. When I got my car back, I was blown away; the skirts looked as good as new, as if nothing had ever happened. The level of detail and care that went into the repair is something you rarely find anymore, especially with a skill set like fiberglass work, which seems to be a dying art. Also, Bob was very upfront with the cost which ended up being extremely reasonable! Cant say enough about the quality of work and the price of the repair.
If youre in the same boat, with damaged fiberglass on your vehicle, I cant recommend Harolds Auto Repair enough. They’re one of the few places left that still understand the value of repair over replacement, and they do it with an expertise thats hard to come by these days. My Lotus is back to its pristine self, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
