Know any good body shops?

[Katana13]

Hey ....just trying to get some advice...
This kid reversed & backed into my 2005 Nissan X-Trail which btw was sitting on the end on my driveway and dented the left rear bumper.....The kid doesn't want to tell his parents and wants to pay for the damages without going through his (parents) insurance....but i'm not so sure he's got money to pay for the damages...i think they'll need to replace the whole rear bumper.
Anyone have any advice on what are some good body shops to get estimates from?
I'm taking it to Contemporary Coachworks Friday am..... but wondering if anyone knows of any other good places....
Thanks

James Autobody on 19th Street NE just north of 32nd ave on the west side. He just moved after 10 years at another location and upgraded most of his equipment. I would definatly recommend him.

Check out Maranello of National. Both good shops and have decent prices.

Maranello's and good prices? Sorry they don't. They quoted me $1600 more than National for my paint job. National has some of the best prices around for a high quality job.

He's not paying anything out of his pocket, why would he want the kid to pay less?
I'd go to Maranello's.
