Recommend a North Bay Body shop to me.
I was in tahoe this weekend and some *** hat rear ended me. The car seems mechanically fine but I need body work. Anyone recommend a good body shop in the Sonoma County/Marin area. Thanks.

I recall there is a good autobody shop in larkfield (between windsor and sr) that does good work. They did very nice work on my mother's lexus when it got pwned a few years back. Might be worth checking if you want a second estimate, though I bow to huck's advice.

Thanks everyone!
I know to stay away from GNC, I didn't know Advance Tech had a bad rep also. My brother went to Larkfield Auto Body and they did very good work on his car. I think I'm going to go w/ either Anthony's, Gullicks or Larkfield because it's closer to home.

Body shops
Here's some of the body shops that do business with us on a regular basis (they use genuine parts):
Larkfield Body and Paint
Gulick's
Blake's (Santa Rosa) N. Dutton
Dibble's Collision
Not recommendations, simply observations so you know they're using OEM parts instead of the cheap stuff.
