Default DMV area body shop recommendations..

OK so apparently, DC has a law where i only pay a 200 deductible for damage caused by a hit and run.. I got a list of about 50 shops that have contracts with State Farm that I can take my car to and get work done to it. Basically, the driver side of the car is just trashed, mirror cover broken off, easily fixable, and my friend who has a body shop looked at it and said the damage is a bit extensive although it is not really major. The doors, driver fender, quarterpanel, and rear bumper need work done.. I have a list of shops that were provided to me although it is quite large, I was hoping to see if you guys recognize any of these as being pretty legit and do good body work.. meaning, no body filler and great paint.. I would also like to get the hood and front bumper/lip resprayed as well at the same time.. Thanks in advance for your input guys..

I know its a long list and sorry for putting this up there.. But it can also serve as future reference for some shops that are noteworthy of their quality of work..

I used to work there. Tell them Steven with the blue GS3 sent you. They are a great shop and offer a lifetime warranty will all their repairs. They have had cars in all kinds of car magazines. Many NELOC and Supra members can vouch for them. They do fantastic work!

EDIT: They also do the repairs for Ferrari, Maserati, and Lambo.

All I can say is stay away from true2form. Horrible shop. Friend had a car done there and looks like some ish. I work at EuroPros Al, not saying we're going to give you the hook up, but we will get it done right. 020 or 021 is easy paint wise, shouldn't be any problems there for you Al, but its the body labor. Make sure where ever you take it that they detrim everything.

No belt mouldings, door handles, body side mouldings, nothing is to stay on the car. If you have any questions Al, give me a call man.
