Default So Cal body shops

Well bad news for me, I dodged a dog in the road and hit a curb. The front fascia in front of the hood is cracked.The flexible spoiler is destroyed. The bottom frame rails where some guys put the frame savers are tweaked. I am so depressed. Well now I have to find a good dealer or custom body shop in my area (Inland Empire) that can do the repairs flawlessly I am so worried that I will not get my baby back to perfect condition. Any suggestions before I hit the yellow pages would be greatly appreciated.

Yes the dog is fine but I am going to be out a lot of bread for sparing its life. Damn dog!

Such a bummer!

I had some damage to my '93 last year - parking lot accident, shattered the driver's door post & spidered the paint on the rear fender. Fixed by Caliber in Carlsbad, and they did an awesome job, if you want to go that far south.
