Default Austin area body shop & Tires

My new to me 2011 Yellow Grand Sport Convertible got keyed yesterday as well as at least of the tires slashed (one front, one rear). The passenger side door and fender is where I have noticed the damage the most. I would appreciate any body shop recommendations to get the damage fixed. There are some recommendations in this thread but they are two years old. To summarize from other thread the recommendations where:

gards1964: Covert body shop in downtown Austin
beepster:Berli's in Plugerville. www.berlisbody.com
JonLuvsVettes: Custom Car Crafters


Also, the tires seem relatively new, do I need to replace all 4 or just the two that are slashed?

Thank you in advance.

Austin Corvette has been very good to me and I have no complaints with the work they have done.

Thanks for the responses. insurance covers generic shop but I intend to take it to either Berlis or AUstin Corvette and pay for the difference.

Btw, Passenger side front and rear tires were slashed. The car currently has Hankooks on it with 70% wear remaining. Insurance is telling me that they will pay only for the 2 tires that are damanged and that It is ok to drive with uneven wear on drivers vs passengers side.

I am a NOOB, anyone have an opinion on this topic? I dont track the car, its a fun car that gets driven less than 700miles a month. Should I replace all 4 and pay for the other 2 or should I go ahead and replace only 2?

Thanks!

I just used Berlis for my wife's SUV since it was newish. They did a great job except for the electric lock no longer working on one door.

You probably want to go ahead and just replace all 4.
