Good body shop in bay area/peninsula?

Hey all,

I'm seeking the collective wisdom of the board once again. Over the weekend, my '09 WRX was rear ended (no injuries, seemingly very minor scuff marks to the rear bumper, but the edges did "pop out" where it meets the tail lights). The other guy was obviously at fault and very sorry about it, and we exchanged insurance information.

I want to bring the car in and make sure there's really no damage to the bumper or the frame. Is there a shop you good folks would recommend who do good work? The other guy will either pay the bill or have his insurance do it, so I'm looking more to quality than cost.

Thanks!

I work with about 30 body shops all over the bay area, but IAB is the only one I'd trust my car with, tell em Jeremy from Invisiguard sent you, he'll take care of you

Many thanks for the quick responses! I'm bringing my car in to IAB, but will keep the others in mind as well, since they're much closer to me than San Bruno (hopefully I'll never need to use any of these again )

I use Industrial Auto Body on Industrial ave. in The City.

Been doing business with them for forever. Excellent color match, and they stand behind their work if there's ever a problem.
