They do flawless work. They are a sponsor of the G club and work on exotics such as Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, etc. The 33,000 sq.ft. facility is bangin' too.

Yes, here are three black car's they've worked on. They are a little pricey but like the saying goes, "you get what you pay for"

They redid my front end and some other work for a pretty comparable price to other shops I looked at. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Trust me they do awesome work.

They are more expensive per-say but the saying is very true you get what you pay for.

Proudly rock a D&V sticker on the z when ever it gets done.

proof is in the pics...

+1 on D&V /thread

I got priced out on about $1,500 worth of body work at D&V, and a smaller, back alley, more budget oriented shop a few G guys have used just to get a baseline as to what a cheap-o job would cost me. D&V's pricing was spot on what I was qouted elseware. I don't know why you guys think D&V's pricing is more than everyone else (one would think with their quaility of workmanship I guess). Their work is the best in the area, and their prices are similar to the competition -- Seems like a no brainer to me.

When you go in ask for Kevin, he'll take real good care of you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Kevin (the owner) is quite possible the coolest most honest buisness men i have ever met in my entire career.

Being shown around the entire shop when i originally brought the car there , let me see everything they do.

Along with the caliber of car he usually works then saying his true passion is modifying cars ie custom work .

Hands down without having to think about, D&V is the shop to go if you need any body work done.

They did my body kit fitting, prep and paint. The whole crew makes sure you are happy with the end result and Kevin makes sure you get the attention you need for your ride.

A few pics of the work they did for me:







I started a thread awhile ago on dealing with them and photo-documented just about everything. If you want to know what kind of service and product you're going to get dealing with them, take a few moments to read the thread.

^ Kevin is such a perfectionist and it really shows with the caliber of work on your car. I remember him saying how hard he worked to get the fitment on your chargespeed rear dialed in. He couldn't say enough about how well all your ASM stuff was a 100% factory fit, which he says you dont even find with even some of the high end body pieces.

D&V auto .

On a serious note though if you are looking for the best customer service and show quality paint work this is the only shop to offer both in MD area.

Would gladly recommend them to anyone when they see the z in public.

The D&V sticker will go right above my "army" sticker on the back window.

Says alot in my book.
