Default Looking for a good body shop

Got into an accident today, the other driver took off .

Need to look for a very good body shop. I'm very picky on quality of work. Any recommendations are welcome.

The Works in Santa Clara. They do very high end work (mostly Ferraris). I saw at least 5 of them in the parking lot.

(408) 748-1367
1640 Grant Street
Santa Clara, CA

They are expensive, but I hear that they do top quality work.

I did mine at The Works last time but I am not really satisfied. It took longer than they told me initially to fix it. I need to call them every week to push them to fix my car.

But I haven't been to other places, so I probably can't tell whether they are good or not.

They do have several Ferraris there though. Chris there drove Ferraris to lunch every day...

If you want the best quality work, go to Cars Dawydiak on Franklin and Bush in Frisco. This is a car dealership that sells high end exotics and has its own body shop/repair shop on the top floor. Their work is absolutely impeccable. The cars I've seen them work on (body and mechanical) are: Panoz, Quavale, Porches, Ferraris, Jags, etc . . .

I'll chime in for The Works as well. They worked on my car and I was very happy with the results -- their paint matching skills are superb. I've sent a few friends there since, and all have been very pleased. They are, however, not cheap or fast. They are a small volume shop and always busy. As mentioned above, they primarily do Ferrari restoration/repairs. Ask for Chris, the owner (he understands anal sports car people).

Ask Will at Menlo Honda who they use - they did a great job on my Spa Yellow S2000.

Thanks for the suggestions from everybody.
I decided to take my car to Anderson Behel Body
shop. My co-worker was real satisfy with their
work. He's car was fixed about 10 years ago and
the paint didn't fade.

They have life time guarantee with their work.
