Angry Dumbass old lady backed into my STi! --body shop?

Arrrrrrgggghhhh!!!

So I'm in line at a light in downtown Los Altos and this STUPID old lady backs into my rear door, all while I've been laying on the horn for like five minutes!! argh!!

The STi is my pride and joy!!--without so much as a scratch, so needless to say I'm pissed, and in desparate need of a good body shop. I want her to be back to showroom condition.

I live in Milpitas and work in Palo Alto--so I'm looking for the best bodyshop anywhere between the two (plus san jose, santa clara, etc.) Anyone have any reccomendations? Idealy I'd like a reputable shop that does near -perfect- work, and doesn't park customer cars in an outside lot. I want my car to be stored indoors while it's under the knife.

All suggestions appreciated!





[lingering rant] no matter where i go, i park my farrrrrr the hell away from anything, always park it in the garage, don't drive on bad roads, and then a stupid old lady hits me backing out while i'm at a light... is it impossible to have nice things? no matter what they'll get stolen, broken into, or hit by utter morons~!

After "the deer incident" I went to Premier Body Shop. The dudes there were sooooo nice and pretty funny. Their painter is really talented. He also did my friend's black Jetta and it came out very nice.

Anyway, they repaired nearly the entire front end of my car AND did the custom hoodscoop, and it all turned out extremely well. They even hooked me up with a beer while I was waiting

They've done quite a few Subaru's and are very familiar with them.

At any rate, they're definitely worth stopping by and checking out before making a decision!!!

Pan American behind Costco on Senter Road in san jose my friend says..he has an 00 Roush Mustang and when driving to work a deer decided to lay down on his fender/hood and then he got keyed and he brought his car back to the same people and he says no complaints and he liked them...so i guess maybe call them up?
