2008 Honda Element - Needs rust rehab

I have a 2008 Honda Element that needs full electrical repairs and some underbody work due to rust. Anyone knows of shops near Central Mass or RI that does this kind of work? The car hasn’t been driven since 2018.

Not driven in six years, why? Is this a car that has been in a flood or saltwater?
From your very brief comments I suspect it would not be wise to attempt any repairs, just have it hauled to a junkyard.

Hope you have lots of money.

No harm to query, but this forum isn’t usually the best place to ask for local shop info. Do you see the “repair shops” link at the top of the page? There might be something there. However, coworkers, relatives etc are usually the best source for local shop recommendations. .

Another one and done.

It is very likely that the cost of repairs would exceed the book value of the vehicle.

How do you know the extend of the electrical repairs and the amount of rust damage on the undercarriage? If you had an estimate for repairs, how much was it? The price of work might exceed the value of the Element. If that is the case, would you repair the Element or buy another vehicle?
