Rust through

I wonder if anyone can help me. I live in South Jersey, and I am having a hell of a time finding a body shop that wants to repair my rusty roof for me. My truck is great, just rust on the roof by the corner where the window seals meet by the door front, but not under the seal. Previous owner put screws through the headliner for a gun rack, and the screws went ALL the way through the roof. I guess that's how the moisture got in. Anyway, it seems as if no one wants to repair rust anymore. I have a little background in this area and painting, but it's been a long time and I have neither the time nor the location to complete the job. Maaco will do it of course, but I know all about that deal. Can anyone recommend someone in the South Jersey area that will tackle this whose work is good and won't beat me over the head?

I'm betting you're going to have a tough time finding someone who will do the rust work and put any type of warranty behind it since rust work is the hardest to warranty. If you went into a shop with the premise beforehand that you were just wanting it fixed but weren't expecting it to last a lifetime they might write a disclaimer on the bottom of the bill.
