Hey if I decide to go through my insurance(Farmers) can I choose what body shop I want to get it fixed at? And also, is it worth going through my insurance if the total damage of both vehicles I have to pay for is over 2grand? Or should I just pay in cash and avoid raising my insurance(my first accident)? Thanks again
then i'd suggest try backyard creation. ask for joe (the owner) and tell him henry refers you. i talk to joe quite often these days. again i wouldn't say they are the cheapest, but they did pretty good job on my previous ls460l

about insurance, yes, you can choose any body shop you like. you have the right to choose. insurance might tell you blah blah blah, but it's your right

if the total is really around 2k, and i assume your deductible is 500 or 1000, i would say better off pay it yourself

Default Recommendations for SoCAL Paint Shops

I'm shopping the idea around in my head in getting my IS350 painted a completely different color after it was keyed.

Can anyone recommend me a paint shop that does great work?

backyard creations +1

many socal CL'ers have had their cars worked on by them, and they come highly recommended.

Yup. Had them re-do the whole exterior of the car...full respray, body kit/spoilers, and rear fender flares.

Agreed, Joe is the man.

Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Your car deserves it!

Here's one of my toys he did:
