Reco for Subaru Body shop

I was in an accident this morning and managed to hydro planed the car on the freeway. I luckily enough was able to walk away from it with not that much damage. It looks like the rear bumper got torn off and the driver rear side could have some hidden damage. The rear driver wheel is bent and the alignment of it is off and not straight anymore.

My insurance is going to be covering this and I would like to see what's a good shop that can take a look at my car and assess the damage? Can anybody recommend a shop? I am in Santa Clara near San Jose. My car is a 2011 STi 5-door.

Thanks in advance.

trakmasterrs, I guess I talked to you this morning at Trimble/DelaCruz and 101? I hope that you didn't have to wait long for your tow truck.

I can recommend B-Line in San Jose: B-Line Body Shop - San Jose, CA

Hi! Yes, that was me. Glad to see such a close-nit community with other fellow Subie owners. Thanks for the reference, I will be going over all of the ones you guys refer. Anything close to my place would be idea since I will need to get it towed there. But if its top notch service, then I wouldn't mind going the extra distance.

I've heard good things about apex auto body. Pan american on senter is also good, that's where we were recommended when my mom's new accord was hit.

515 autobody in Burlingame, they recently changed locations and name. They were formerly known as Franklin autobody in SF and they painted my old wagon along with some custom flares I highly recommend them.
