Body Shops in Ca?

Does anyone know of really good body shops in So-cal that are familiar with obtaining Syclone cladding pieces?
Some random lady in a van ran into my Sy, and now I've gotta find a bunch of different quotes etc for the insurance so her insurance will pay out, and I don't want to end up with a half-assed job that will leave the poor Sy looking like crap.
Really tore her van up good, but cracked some cladding. Guess the Sy didn't wanna give up the lane..

If youneed a high estimate, go to MARTIN CADALLAC GMC 310 8203611 in WLA, SM area, they are familiar with syty's and will give a high quote for proof of value of a sy (for the dumb van owners ins co.) 100% legit i must say, they do everything by the book, no corners cut, and it reflects on the estimate.
As far as getting it fixed, many people here is SoCal are able to locate cladding pieces, depending on what you need, it shouldnt cost too much.
along with that, there are some pretty good body shops that can fix your truck perfect, and not at a dealership, maybe youll actually have money left over....

Cool. Thanks for the info, I'll give them a call, see what kind of pricing they can work up.

So far, the one quote I've gotten (For only 2 pieces of cladding damaged, 1 of which was barely scuffed, and can be worked out I'll bet) was $2500.
The higher, the better.
I hope to be able to just get her insurance to cut me a check, and do the work myself, I'm familiar with the cladding work, and have a couple sources to get it now.

good to hear. I knew you would be able to find cladding there are lots of pieces for sale nowadays within the community, yada.
As far as when you get the work actually done, there are some highlly reccommended shops locally...

I know in Washington state, the law states you only need 1 estimate.

You may ask around.

I had a claim once, insurance company started giving me hassle until I mentioned laws, at that point they were willing to send me the check I asked for.
