Unhappy nsx accident please advise!!!


My father owns a 97 NSX-T and yesterday he was re-ended by a grey hound bus (don't ask me how?) At a glance there are just a few scratches. However, upon closer inspection it seams that the body panels are out of line. The lines between panels aren't straight anymore. My father is really concerned about the frame being messed up and he's not sure who can handle the NSX's aluminum frame. We live in southern california, does anyone know of a body shop that can deal with the NSX's frame. Please advise on what my father should be looking for and what he should be concerned about.

much appreciated

your best bet is bring to the dealerships. call ask around for a dealer that has a bodyshop on site. also ask that they have the necessary machine to straighten the frame if it is damage. make sure that they have a body shop on site, and not just hand it to a local shop to do. as some dealer will subcontract to local shops.

usually the larger dealerships will have the a body shop on site. dont even bother going to cerritos acura, that place dont got a body shop.

if worse comes to worse. you can bring your car to Long beach honda to have them take a look at the NSX. just have them do a run through on the car. i know they have the machine that straighten out the frame (from experience).

if it was the buses fault and the from is bent, tell them you want a new 97 nsx. once the frame is bent a car is never the same. if its your dad's fault i guess just try and get it straightend
