Please Help, Need a Reliable Body Shop for my STi

Long Story Short:

Driving on base, retard weed-wacking next to road, decides its a good idea to weed wack some big rocks, rock flys through air, rock hits side of STi and my pristine baby now is SCARRED. I am filing a claim against the government so price is no matter, not even going through insurance as the Gov will cover it all....cha ching.

So if anyone knows of a good pait/body shop that can pull a quarter size dent properly, and repair the paint with no evidence of work done I would appreciate the advice.

Are you sure the base will cover all of it? I have filed two claims with Hickam and the Goverment only covers your deductable and my insurance covers the rest which is no big deal because it didn't go against my insurance it went against comprehensive so no rate increase.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

As for the Gov covering it, I was talking to base legal and I have 3 options for reimbursement.

1. Go through insurance and file a claim for the deductable.

2. since it may be less than my deductable to fix, pay for the work on my own and file a claim for the final cost.

3. get an estimate file a claim for it, wait 2-6 months for the claim to go through and then get it fixed.

# 1 or 2 are what I am shooting for.

Thanks again

im curious, why say "dont go to tech one"...tru they are not the cheapest, but they do good work, im sure the suby black isnt the easiest to fix or match, and theyve done a good job with my car....any bad experiences with them? or anything of that sort?
