Agree, just find a good body shop.
My Highlander was just rear ended last week. I dropped it off this morning at a shop I've used before. They have a great reputation and use only OEM parts, and it's only costing me the $100 deductible. However, if the driver who hit you had insurance you should be paying nothing out of pocket as his/her insurance should cover it.
Good luck!

You are entailed to an additional loss of value on your car. Even though the car is fixed, it has lost some value to to being in an accident. Look at it this way, if you are looking to buy a used Lexus and one has a clear car fax, and one show an accident, which one do you want, regardless if they look the same?
Have the dealer or a reputable used car dealer give you a price for the exact car one without having being in an accident, and one showing an accident. The difference is what you are entitled to from their insurance. I will tell you, you most likely will get less when you sell it just because of the car fax accident.
The insurance may try to tell you all they have to do is repair your car to like it was before the accident, but they can't because it will always carry the accident on its car fax. To to totally indemnify you the insurance must pay the difference, to make you whole on your claim.
When you talk to them you want to use the words make whole and indemnify, as these are the key words which they will respond to. Don't take no for an answer as you are not in the wrong, and your car is now worth less, even if they fix it. Make them pay what is reasonable and fair, nothing more, nothing less.
Good luck
