Recommend a body shop in the Peninsula/ SF area

A friend had a little accident with another car. One shop told the owner of the car that the whole bumper needed to be replaced (BS). Anyone know of a good shop in the Peninsula/SF area that can take care of this for a fair price and in a timely manner?

Thanks BAIC!

Thats a simple job IMO. Detail Addict can handle it? Is it a punctured hole? or a gouge?

Thanks guys,

Kyle = I never saw the car, so I'm not sure if it's punctured/gouged.

Talk to Ballz. I think he might be able to fix it without replacing the whole bumper.

Sunny Auto Body in S.F. Talk to Denny, tell him "Ryan with the WRX" sent you and he'll hook it up for you. They're a direct repair facility for lots of insurance companies, so you know that their work is top quality.

Oh, and sorry to counter so steezy's recommendation for United A/B in S.F., but those guys are really shady and always do crap like swap parts, skimp on promised work, and whatnot. Be careful if you do go with them. Leonid and George are slippery guys.

I too say send a PM to Ballz. If it is a insureance thing then I say go to Yeaman Auto Body. It is in Palo Alto but they are one of the few Diamond certified shops and do awesome work. Most likely you will see a couple Subies there and a few Porsche Club cars there too.
