Default Damn You SNOW !!!!

First off hello everyone. I have been lurking on these boards for a while now but never really posted.

I have a 1992 SC400 that I bought a few years ago.

My car was hit by someone today, sliding through a stop sign at a T intersection into my parked car by my house.

I wondering if anyone knows a good place to take my car in for repairs in the Burnaby/Vancouver area.

The damage is to the front left of the car, it doesn't seem to have affected the hood or drivers door, but the wheels are locked so that i cant start the car.

If there is anyone out there the lower mainland area that has any suggestions I would appreciate that.

Driver stayed thankfully,

The steering wheel can't turn even a bit to so i can't turn the key to start it.

Based on the list of places sent to me by icbc I am thinking of the toyota body shop on Willington and Canada way.

but om not sure, they want me to tell them somewhere by tomorrow (Sunday)

i've used grand city (main and 6th?) and blue chip (marine dr and heather), grand city is quite recommended by many ppl but i get the overall feeling they're too busy to really do a really good job... not to say they are worth avoiding...

blue chip i've had no issues with altho they stopped managing their own loaner vehicle fleet, they just pay for a rental for you...
