I'm in So OC but I've had good luck with Carmer (does some classics and hot rods, did two of my wrecks, has huge facilities) and Laguna Niguel Auto Collision (did work on several of my cars including one of my show cars and my motorcycle, small shop) and their prices are reasonable if it's not insurance work. I'm extremely picky on cars and several body shops I've tried didn't cut it. Crown Valley Collision did some work for me but their prices started creaping up and quality started to slide, too much business I guess.
