good body shop in N cal

I life in SF/ N Cal and was wondering what's a good body shop to take my car to? I've never done any body work on my car but this is for future reference if I get in a car accident/plan to install a body kit on my car. Thanks in advance.

Smythe European in San Jose recommends Buick Body Shop, and the shop was removed from Allstate Insurance's approved repair facitlity so it has to be good!

Also put Cook's in Walnut Creek [used to be right next to the dealer in WC] on your list.
