Body Shop Recomendations

Anybody have any good body shops in the SF/peninsula area that they'd recommend? I know there are some good shops elsewhere, but I probably don't have the time to travel all the way back and forth for it.

I did a search and it seems like Westwind in SF and IAB in San Bruno are really good. It looks like Westwind is a really organized place since they have computer records of all the body work they did on your car, so they pull it up real quick. I also read the Angie from Westwind is pretty good on the insurance company claims process. IAB also seems to be a really good place as well according to yelp.

Price isn't going to be a concern I hope, since the insurance company should be handling that. I just want a nice trouble-free process with no BS about claims not being paid or waiting forever.

United Auto Collision Center on Rollins in Burlingame. Quality work,but pricey. You get what you pay for. I had my Miata hard top and spoiler done there. After more than two years, the hard top still looked brand spankin' new. No MAACO job here. They took everything off, glass and weatherstripping before painting and the Miata hard top rear glass is known to be a pain in the butt to remove and replace. They specialize in restoring older Euro cars. Check them out if you have time.

Independence Auto Body in Mountain View. I took my CTS-V there after St. Claire Cadillac chunked my rear quarter panel. The guy there only works on high end cars from what I saw. His rates were much better than anyone else and had my car done in reasonable time.

Pete and Angie at Westwind will take good care of you, and their techs are top notch.
Ian at Bryant Autobody is cool guy, too. Work's not bad either.
I also forgot to tell you about International Sport Motors at 440 9th St; Giovanni runs a tight ship there.
