Angry Any good body shop in San Jose area

Hello!

I am new to MBWorld. Great site! Okay, so... this morning, someone hit my rear bumper, and left some dents and ugly scratches on my car . Can someone recommend a body shop in SJ area who do a good job and excellent paint job. My insurance company will cover for it since it's hit and run. My car is a 2005 C230. Thanks!

My dealership recommends EMC Collision in Fremont, CA. They are Mercedes-Benz authorized. I've never used them though, but if I ever did need body work, I'd go to them first.
