I recently had a mishap on my scooter and I was wondering if anyone knew where in Jersey would you recommend for bodywork.It's a Vespa GTV.

I'm thinking he means the New one, not the island between England and France. Razz emoticon

Fair enough - but the old one takes precedence if 'New' isn't asserted...

Any good body shop should be able to fix it. just make sure they tape the screws and clips to the part they were removed from. make sure they paint it in a 2 stage paint when the color match is done.

Post a few pictures for us to see the damage.

Hi Nelson! Good to hear from you!

Scooters O would do a great job,
but it could take a while if they're busy


PS--Since when do you have a GTV?

Nelson,
Sorry to hear about the GTV, it still had that new (to you) scoot smell on it when I last saw you.

I'm sure you know Scooters O, but if you're not going that route and and feel like coming across the river, there is an amazing guy here in Brooklyn. He is the body shop Nick at Brooklynbretta used and the one that Robbie at Scooters Bottega uses now. My mom's LX got wacked good and they did an amazing job fixing it up. Very experienced with scoots...

If Brooklyn is an option for you drop me a line and I'll get the guy's specifics.
