Good bay area body shop(south bay preferred)

I went to German Autobody which was recommended by the stealership. I guess anything recommended by the dealer you should be wary of. Well after they looked at my car, they said they would give me the hookup price of $60 bucks an hour on labor. That is rather high no matter how good the work is. Does anyone else have any recommendations? Thanks

Try Sunnyvale Autobody (408) 736-4324
A couple of my friends had their cars(Carrera, M3) repaired over there, I was so impressed with their painting. The shop is very busy, so make an appointment for an estimate.

i had my bmw repaired there too and the result was excellent. they also fixed all the scratches on the rims, which I did not ask them to do but I'm so glad they did. I'm a satisfied customer.

I've been satisfied with L&M bodyshop in San Jose. The owner, Ray, is a great guy and his prices have been very reasonable.
