Recommendation for auto body shops in San Diego for Frozen paint specifically?

Hello fellow members, I got a door ding yesterday in a parking lot. That created a very much noticeable dent. The whole layer of the paint is gone. I guess it would need re-spraying whole door panel. Since it is going thru the other party's insurance, I would like to have it repaired to a perfection. I would really appreciate you guy's input. Thank you all.

Contact your local BMW dealer.
All dealerships work with body shops that are licensed thru BMW that have the correct training for all paint and body repairs.
That way you can just go to the correct place rather then letting a shop "try" on your car.

I've heard good things about the following places. Feel free to check them out.

Chapparone Auto Body. - used them before on non frozen colors and they did good work.

Amato's auto body - I remember reaching out to them back in the day and they told me my car was too old for them to work on. Seems like these guys stay up to date with the latest technology and only work on newer vehicles.

Anyone in San Diego need anything for their M's feel free to reach out!

For all my paint needs, I take my cars to Chapparone Autobody. You can ask for Mark Junior if you stop by. Not sure if they have experience with Frozen though.
