Body Shop Recommendations in West LA?

While parked at the hospital today while my son was undergoing surgery, someone ran their car into mine. Oddly, after running into my car, they threw it in park and walked away, with the two cars still in contact.

I'm going to need to replace the rear bumper and I don't want any blending if I can possibly avoid it. I'd like to just get the new bumper matched to my MGM and get it installed.

Any recommended body shops for me? Thanks.

I just dropped off my car at Santa Monica Auto Craft to get my GTS hood painted.

My car is Champagne Quartz Metallic and they've done one before.

I'd recommend them as they came highly recommend by AutoTalent and some of their customers I met on IG

Thank you! I have considered C&C Collision, as I have heard good things, but they are all the way out in Alhambra,

I've used both craft and cc. Always a positive when the owner is engaged in the operation of customer facing activities.

Last I checked cc doesn't accept State Farm claims.

Thanks! Can you give me a referral for the owner? I’ve never dealt with them before. Talked to Bob today on the phone and will likely bring it in for an estimate today.

Stan's the owner. Bob's cool. Just tell Stan or Bob the dude with the old Land Cruiser sent you. You really don't even need a referral. Gl

Sun didn't let me get a brighter picture but match is 90-95% imo.

This is from Santa Monica

Color is a champagne Quartz metallic so it's not easy to match at all

Hello fellow CQM owner, that looks beautiful! I accidentally bumped my rear trunk and pretty much had to get that and a taillight replaced--sent it to BMW and the trunk looks slightly off if you really look at it. That hood looks pretty good!
