Anyone know a good body shop in Los Angeles?

Guy pulled out of his parking spot but failed to check to see me coming.

My car isn't bad considering how bad his car is [IMG][/IMG]

Sucks but it can be repaired and you're OK.

A while back (when I had my E46...so maybe around 2001) I had to take my car to a body shop and Howard Brown was where I went. They were great, and are apparently still in business (Howard Brown and Sons). They're in Santa Monica.

It's clearly been a while since I was there, but they've been in business for a long time. Others may have also had experience with them.

+1. Highly recommended. Used them for damage to my AMG, very similar to what you sustained. Quality work.

They're in West LA on Olympic, near the 10/405 intersection.

I wonder if xpel would have saved the paint?

Where in LA are you?
I havea few good body shops around.
But be more specific, LA is big.
