Recommended Paint and Interior shops in Scranton - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Hey guys, I live in the Scranton area and am looking for both a well trusted/recommended paint shop and a good interior shop? Any where around Scranton, Carbondale, and Wilkes-Barre is close to me. My car is 15 years old and the headliner is starting to sag in the corners. It's honestly the smallest headliner in the world due to the t-tops, but just knowing this bothers me. I really don't know of any place that specializes in interior work so any suggestions would be great.

As far as paint, it's old and tired and has some chips. The hood is checked so I plan on sanding it down, taking it off the car and having it painted, but I also need a 2 inch chip at the corner of the fender repaired and a few scratches/dings/dents repaired, so does anyone know of a good body shop? My friend's dad owns Scranton Dodge, and they do great work, but are a little pricey and always pretty busy so I was just wondering if there other alternatives. I also know that Kelly's does amazing work but they seem to be a bit pricey and more about bigger jobs. Someone suggested a place called Thane's on green ridge st, has anyone heard of this place as well?

Thanks for any input guy's, I'm just not sure who to trust because with stuff like this there are just as many horror stories as success stories, and I don't want the car to look bad or to waste money, honestly from 10 feet away non of these issues are noticeable, but I am a bit of a perfectionist and wan't these issues fixed before I start pouring cash into mods.

Check out Dreamakers....they're right over the border in NY. Nate lives in the Scranton area though. They do all the body/paint work on our cars.

Thank's guys both shops look really good, I will keep both in mind if I can't find anything closer or as professional looking, but they're both a decent drive away. I may get a quote from both anyway.
