 Arrrrrrgggghhhh!!!
So I'm in line at a light and this STUPID old lady backs into my rear door, all while I've been laying on the horn for like five minutes!! argh!!
The STi is my baby!!--without so much as a scratch, so needless to say I'm pissed, and in desparate need of a good body shop.
I live in Milpitas and work in Palo Alto--so I'm looking for the best bodyshop anywhere between the two (plus san jose, santa clara, etc.) Anyone have any reccomendations? Idealy I'd like a reputable shop that does near -perfect- work, and doesn't park customer cars in an outside lot. I want my car to be stored indoors while it's under the knife.
All suggestions appreciated! 
[lingering rant] no matter where i go, i park my farrrrrr the hell away from anything, always park it in the garage, don't drive on bad roads, and then a stupid old lady hits me backing out while i'm at a light... is it impossible to have nice things? no matter what they'll get stolen, broken into, or hit by utter morons~! [/lingering rant]

They work on mostly exotic cars (Ferraris), and do a KICK-ASS job. 
Hey, if insurance is paying for it, you might as well get the best.

Thanks Brian! I actually work at the new shop in Dublin as the parts manager. He is correct, we do great work. I was a customer about 10 years ago and now work for them. I have sent everyone I know to them, and all of them have been satisfied every time. We do all the work for:Livermore Subaru, Audi, Jaguar, and Honda, Pleasanton Infiniti, Lexus, Acura, Volvo, Saturn, Hummer and Saab, East Bay BMW, Dublin VW and some work for Dublin Nissan and Ford of Dublin.

Take it back!!! If something starts happeneing to the paint you should bring it back. As long as you own the car its got a lifetime warranty on the work we did.

B&S does mediocre work...
Did any of the shops do some work for you? Were you dissatisfied?
