So today I responded to my first fire and got into a car accident =/

Anyways as some of you may know im a reserve firefighter with alcofd and went to my first fire response to a structural fire in hayward today. it was off of mission and mattox and an abandoned car dealership thing burned down. anyways after returning back to our staging area and cleaned up all the equipment and the engine i was driving back home and got into a car accident. some lady clipped my passenger side door and rear quarter panel. and now im a sad panda. an hour later after getting all of that sorted out im sitting here posting on iclub about to go to class.

i dont have much experience with collision repair through insurance but do you think i could take it to a shop like creative kustoms(errr bay area customs & collision)? i just want to make sure a good job is done the right way.
