Default Lexus Collision Center in LA or OC?

I was in a minor accident and the other person's insurance asked me where I wanted to take the vehicle. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any lexus collision center in LA or OC? I would like to take it back to the dealership since I assume their work should be of Lexus quality. Any comments or suggestions?? I am located in Pasadena. Thanks.

i have read posts about this recommendation... but is it wise to take it to them since it is not only a paint job, but also suspension work. i am unfamiliar with them and what they do. do they do insurance work??

thanks.

a lot of lexus dealers don't do their own bodywork... they outsource it to a body shop.

Uh... yeah, you could say Backyard Creations can do suspension work...

Joe and his crew have fabricated pushrod racing style suspensions for an RX-7 and an E30 BMW.... complete carbon fiber door skins and body panels from scratch... custom all-metal fender and hood vents...

Compared to the heavy duty collision repairs and custom work Backyard has done, swapping suspension parts is just "parts swapping" for these guys. Very talented crew indeed.

The have a frame machine and paint booth on site, and do insurance work, too.

Another recommendation for the Backyard crew... I don't trust anybody else with my rides!

I would recommend Longo Toyota/Lexus colision center. My buddy has some work done on his Glacier frost Mica IS350 after a minor hit and run accident and color match is 100% perfect. Turnaround time was also amazing.

I've also gotten some minor body work done on my GS at Longo. They stand behind their repairs. I wasn't happy with the color match and they repainted it. Taking mine back for some more painting and body work as I just got hit a week ago.
