Accident - Need Body Shop suggestion in the Bay Area
Bad news, guys. I sideswiped my 2012 CLS63 turning into my residence. Rear quarter door, wheel and fender needs to be replaced. Some damage to the frame as well. Insurance is going to cover it so I hope someone can suggest the best body shop possible for repairs. I am located near the Bay Area. Much appreciated! Hope I will be on the road soon!

Go to Pan American Collision Center. The Merc dealers use them. 555 Burke St, San Jose, CA 95112. Almost all they do is Mercedes and the work is outstanding. Ask for Georgiana. 408-289-8745

Thank you all for the kind words and ecm for the suggestion. I will definitely give PACC a look.
Here are some pictures of the damage. Do you guys think the car can be both cosmetically and functionally restored back to its original state (as in....one can't tell if its been in an accident if i don't disclose the fact to that person)? I just had it for around 1K miles......

They just finished my C63 and did a great job! I also saw a wide body sl550 with custom matte black paint which looks so cool!

To the average person, probably not. To someone like me, I would find it. Mind you since this is being claimed through insurance it will now show up on your carfax anyways.
Definitely keep these pix for reference in case you want to sell the car so you can show the damage was not insane.
