Once the weather starts to turn warm, thoughts inevitably turn to long drives with open windows.  Car show season is right around the corner and as the summer stretches before us, we'll be wanting to spend time on the open road!

 

What are you doing to get ready?  Have you checked your battery? You'll want to make sure your windows and doors are in cruise-ready operating condition and touch up any of those pesky road chips that might have gotten overlooked from last season.  Checking your tires, after your vehicle has been sitting all winter is also not a bad idea.

So excited to have been able to spend the day with one of the most talented photographers I have had the pleasure to meet.  Floyd Dean of Dean Digital Imaging in Wilmington, Delaware was gracious enough to take some time out of his crazy schedule to spend a few hours here with us in Bridgeville. 

The weather finally cooperated and he was able to get some amazing outdoor shots.  A larger image is availalbe on the Completed Project page. 

 

We know we can't compete with your Victoria's Secret models Floyd, but thanks again for working us in!

We are excited to have the opportunity to host Gene Winfield, from Winfield Rod & Customs at our shop in August 2012!

 

This class is a must for the hotrod enthusiast and builder.  A two-day event, there will be an opportunity to learn leading, louvering, basic metallurgy, shrinking, hammer and dolly and tig welding from one of the foremost custom rod builders in the country. Space is limited but anyone who is interested please contact us either from the contact us page by email or phone.

Barn-Finds are the car collector's equivalent of the holy grail.  Oft sought after rarities they are the vehicles you might end up climbing over a fence or through a thicket of brambles to get to, never mind the risk you might encounter trying to actually procure one of these rusty, dusty gems from their owners.

 

Hagerty sums this up very nicely in this month's top article.  Below is an excerpt.  Read the rest of the article at

When you're moving does it seem like it never ends? Fortunately, we are finally in and settled thanks to some very long hours by some very dedicated guys!

 

Bridgeville, Delaware is definitely the place to be and we are loving our new home!

 

Presently we are looking forward to setting up drive-ins with our friends at Nationwide and Progressive, as more details become available we will keep you posted.  We accept all types of auto insurance, however we are striving to offer additional concierge services with select insurance companies for the convenience of our customers.

It's finally happening! After what seems like many long months of construction and logistics we are excited to be making the move from our Greenwood shop to the new location at 114 N. Main Street in Bridgeville. 

 

We are anticipating seeing customers at the new building around the first of January.  The blasting will still remain out in Greenwood and we will continue to schedule other repairs and projects around the move. 

 

All of us here at East Coast are extremely excited and want to thank our customers, friends and family for their continued support.  Wishing you all a very, Merry Christmas!!! See you in the new year!

 

 

 

 

Thanks to everyone who turned out to support the opening of the Bridgeville shop!  We had a great time and couldn't have asked for nicer weather. Also a big thanks to all of our friends and family who helped pull this together in an incredibly short time frame, we could not have done it without you!!!

 

 

Please join us Saturday, October 15th from 9-2 at our new location in Bridgeville, Delaware, www.townofbridgeville.net

We will be holding an open house and cruise-in in conjunction with the annual Apple-Scrapple Festival. 

 

Looking forward to seeing old friends and customers and meeting new ones, after all as we say in the collision business, we "meet alot of nice people by accident"!

 

Hope to see you there!!!
