Body Shop Recommendations, Please!

Someone hit my Pilot last night and scratched my front bumper on the right corner. It bad enough where I want to have the front bumper repainted.
What I need is a recommendation for a good & reasonably price (for the work done) body shop. I'm in the 310 area code but the shop can be in oc or even a little north of me i.e. 626.

Can't have nice things nowaday w/o someone trying to steal it or messing it up

Have you tried buffing it out yet?
There's a great body shop in Pasadena that my family has used for years for all of our automotive accidents/bodywork/etc

Hammonds Paint and Body

K&W Autobody in Walnut is where I got my work done. I was involved in a rear end collision in 12/10 and so I had them replace one quarter panel as well as smoothen out my roof and rear floor pan. I also decided to do a JDM conversion at this time. My car looks as if it was never hit and they did an "ehh" job with the fitment of my JDM conversion BUT they took FOREVER to complete my car (01/11 - 11/11). I do know that a few employees who worked on my car came and went while it was there and that is partly to blame of the laggy-ness of their service along with finding out that the JDM fender brackets needed to be modified (thanks to JDM Chris).

None the less, they did a GREAT job repairing my rear end, removing all dents, and re-spraying my car to a new color. If all you need is paint or replacing OEM, I'd definitely recommend these guys because their quality when top notch when it comes to that. For anything that needs to be fitted, go elsewhere.

PM me for their contact info if you're interested.

I've also heard good things about DTM in El Monte. Many have told me that I should have gone their to get the work done but there Yelp reviews contradict that...

Do a little research on DTM and maybe you'll find the yelp reviews to be inaccurate (or not).

Thanks guys.
That black blotch is where it's down to the plastic. The flash is hiding other scratches that are lighter.
Yeah, I heard of DTM before.
I'll check into them.
