SoCal Body Shop Recommendation Near San Clemente

So I was fortunate to have my car parked at 24 Hour Fitness in San Clemente when I heard my car being called over the PA. When u hear that you kind of know why. Somebody backed into my parked car. Older woman. Gave her some slack rather than go into a tirade. Its how I roll.

I need recommendations for the best body shop around and hopefully in SoCal near Irvine or San Clemente. My paint is mineral White. Thanks!

Spectrum Collision in Irvine is one of the best. They're certified for Mclaren MSO colors which is no small feat.

Another place to check out is A1 Autobody in Huntington Beach.

I know neither are in San Clemente, but just options that I have worked with personally and good experience with them.

Spectrum did work on a family member's frozen brilliant white m5 and did a solid job

There are a ton of body shops around, some are good, decent, and horrible...

Then there is East Auto Body in Orange...simply put, it will be worth the drive!

He has color matched custom paintwork for me, blended a door so well you couldn't tell, repainted hoods and front ends for clients, keeps orange peel uniform to the rest of the car, uses high quality PPG paints.

I send a lot of clients his way.

From the looks of it, your car will need the door repaired painted, and cleared. Possibly blending into the rear fender since the damage is close to the rear fender

Collision in Irvine fixed a similar passenger door issue for me but the damage was worse. They did a great job.
