Default Good body shop in VA,DC,MD???

Does anyone know of a good body shop in the VA,DC,MD area? some a**hole bumped my car when it was parked, now there is nice ding in my bumper. I went to the Lexus Collision Center and they quoted me 1700 bucks! WTF!

Rockville autobody is a great place; excellent work, great customer service and they work with insurance. They are a bit more expensive, but if you care about your car....

P.S. $1700 is not that much for body damage. Any kind of simple dent is going to be $1000+ more than likely...these aren't cheap cars.

Not to hijack your thread, but I'm interested in finding a good paint shop in the VA/DC/MD area for some aftermarket work. It would be great if there was an all-in-one paint & body shop that comes highly recommended.

Thanks D! I'll check them out. It looks like they're a fairly comprehensive shop, so here's the web link for the OP.

That sucks big time. It's a little pricey, however I think since this is a lexus bodyshop - they will most likely to give you a better OEM paint quality, especially with GFM color. I was actually thinking about taking my LX grilles to them for a paint job, but I'ven't had a chance yet. You should try to get an estimate on your damages from Surbuban Autobody, and let us know what their quote is- compares to Lexus Collision Center.
