Finishing Touch

After touring the Finishing Touch facility this past weekend with the Rotary Car Club of Arizona (RCCAZ), it is the only body shop that I would recommend here in the valley.

They restored the 1964 Mazda R360 that was displayed at Sevenstock.

Just looking at the vehicles in their bay, you can see the QUALITY work that they do (and the type of high-end vehicles that they do).

Tell Glen, the owner, that David, a member from RCCAZ referred you.

Finishing Touch/ Fountain Hills, AZ.

This question was a no-brainer.

missed tour

for a body shop, it was a good tour. the quality of their work really stands out! as a bonus, we got to meet two-time Indianapolis 500 champion and track single lap record holder Arie Luyendyk. the owners were most gracious and had pre-prepared touch-up paint and other goodies for each one of our vehicles, including the one guy with the '84!

I'm not going to say anything bad about Finishing Touch, but if you're down in the SouthEast Valley I can also recommend Henry's Rods & Restoration in Mesa. Their love is for special custom jobs on old American iron, but they do beautiful work on the bread and butter stuff, too.

my Protege5 was a body damage magnet. rubber trash cans, cinder blocks, minivans, you name it- it hit that car. Scottsdale Auto Body did all my repairs, and the car looked factory perfect every time.

Scottsdale Auto Body left me with a touch of orange peel the one time I tried them with my Vintage Red FD. That said, the color match was perfect and has remained so for over three years.
