Default Looking for a Good Body Shop in Dallas/Fort Worth Area

Last week I was rear ended by an idiot in a pickup truck. I'm looking for a good repair shop to have my 06 GS 300 repaired.
My insurance company, State Farm, does not have the dealerships collision shop as a preferred vendor and will not match their labor rate.

Does anyone know of a great body shop in Dallas area other than the dealerships??

Thanks in advance.

I know this isn't the answer you want but Park Place Bodywerks is a Lexus Certified Bodyshop. Other than that, maybe Service King. I'm kind of iffy about Service King because they didn't paint my dad's fender correctly. They did great work on my mom's 1990 Camry when she had it worked on in '93 but on my dad's '13 Mazda, it looks like a crappy job.

Thanks. I was originally looking at Sewell Lexus (which I thought was Bodywerks), but they wanted me to pay the difference between their higher rate and the rate that State Farm covers. I called Park Place Bodywerks and they will work with the State Farm rates. Thanks for the info. Most likely my 06 GS 300 will be totaled, but if they can repair it, I know it will be repaired correctly.

Thanks

Ok, so this is my first post here, but I lived in Dallas until 2 years ago. Call Ron or Justin at Details Ltd. in Addison (on Midway). They do an excellent job. You can tell them Kevin with the yellow Lotus Evora referred you. And yes, that is my Evora on their main page. I wouldn't let anyone else touch my cars in the DFW area. They'll fight for you with the insurance companies & won't return your car until it is done right (as long as it's not totaled of course). The downside to them fixing it right the first time is that they may take longer than Service King & the like.
