Suggestion on autobody shop in Orange County, CA

Accident on I-405 today. Extensive frontend damage.
Where would you take your car for repair in Irvine, CA area?
Any comments on Sterling Collision Center in Tustin?
Thank you.

If you're willing to drive a bit farther, I know a few places that will do insurance jobs. There's Caliber in Riverside, and a few good places in San Gabriel.

Karo -- Thanks for the sources of reviews. I am confused. There are quite a bit of conflicting reviews. Some are extremely satisfied and a few extremely disappointed ones.

TemjinX2 -- The car in need of repair is not my C320. It is 2004 Porsche. Would you still recommend FJ in such case?

Since this is a Mercedes Forum, I think TemjinX2 was correct in assuming....since you didn't have the courtesy to post it....that the car in question was the C320. . Aren't Porsche forums to be trusted? What a jerk off response.

Dude, who in the import community don't know PJ Bonifacio?? When I was young I wanted him to be the dude that would paint my car, lol. He's one of the gods of the Import Culture. Him, LJ Garcia, and RO_JA!

This is another reminder for me that one always has to be careful in saying something how the other side would understand. I have never meant in my reply what you inferred. I meant to ask if FJ body shop offers services on other makes as well. After your response and reading my sentence again, I could see that someone could see my sentence as you did. Sincere apologies if my message is interpreted by TemjinX2 the way mleskovar. That was not intended.

too be honest i dont know. i know its a good place to repair mercedes because they do everything in house with genuine mercedes parts unlike smaller dealerships that out source there work. best thing you can do is probably just give them a call.

if insurance is paying, i would probably just have the dealership fix it.

true true.. they are like the kings of imports. anyway, yeah.. he will take care of your car like it was his. its a really good place to get anything cosmetic done to your car. he can get very OCD, everything has to be perfectly done HIS way. im not trying to sell his services. its just a suggestion.
