Body shop needed in LA. My baby is a hit and run victim!


Someone (I didn't get the plates) just hit me as I was going through an intersection in LA. The car hit my rear driver side wheel and bumper (but luckily missed the quarter panel), and did not stop. Can anyone recommend a good body shop in LA, preferably in the south bay? My deductible will be lost no matter what, so I want the best possible job done without regard to cost.

Thanks for any leads!

Ouch! I get my car back from the bodyshop tomorrow (someone backed into mine); hope nobody was hurt and it all works out okay soon

A favorite of some of the Porsche guys out here is Braces in Culver City, they do excellent work.
