Denver vs Omaha for restoration shop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a conundrum....my work called me on Friday and told me I am to move to Denver next Tuesday. My truck is supposed to go into a shop down here to get some work done to it on Monday and I am considering just taking it with me on a flatbed behind a diesel and finding a shop in Denver instead. If I left it here, I have a coworker who has a Dodge 3500 Cummins who offered to bring it to Denver in the end of September when he goes on R&R.
So...do I leave it here..or do I take it to Denver with me next week?

What happens when the shop calls with dubious repair claims and estimates. Who are you going to trust? What happens when it shows up in Denver and you are not satisfied with the work? I would take it with me.

You're right. Sometimes I place too much faith in strangers. To Denver she's goin.

On that note...Anyone know of any good shops in Denver?

A friend of mine is the manager at SVE autobody in Broomfield. About 25 minutes north of Downtown Denver. They are a high end shop and do some great work.
