Default Any good body shops in SOCAL?!

I parked to go into a store.....come out a half hour later....a NICE BIG DENT on my left bumper. the paint is scratched off in a CIRLCE. I don't know how the bastard hit me. I looked all over the parking lot with a car with my paint...nothing. I asked people in the stores if they seen anything...nothing.I was thinking of going to Galpin as a last resort....anybody know any place better?

Where in SoCal are you? I had my Road Runner done at California Body Shop in Pasadena, California, and they did great work at a good price.

if you go through your insurance like I did with my own hit and run, do NOT go to Insurance Collision Centers. They cause more problems than they repaired! Broke my drivers side coat hanger. Now it just spins and spins so I can't hang a jacket on it! Also they caused a rattle, didn't replace a nut, etc, etc, etc! Make sure to tell whoever you end up going to that you have photographed the car and know the exact state of every square inch & that you expect to receive the car in the same condition or you will not pay until they have fixed every error!
This may sound like paranoia but believe me, they are going to screw it up, no matter who you go to!
