Angry Accident: Need body shop w/ good price

got into an accident today and im not really in the mood to explain the whole thing but its not all that bad. need new rear driver taillight, and basically most of the driver rear side from the trunk and below.

anyone know of shops around here that does quality work but doesnt over-charge? i dont wanna go to the 23rd meet looking like the Lexus phantom of the opera with one side lookin..... well..... slightly smashed

thnx in advance

thnx again, id really like it done over a weekend because this is my only car and weekdays are really busy for me so i have to be able to get around.

this is my first time having to deal with a shop for body repairs, you guys think its possible within 2 days? this might be asking much, ill give him a call tommorow to setup a time ill be dropping in the shop.

yeah, i definitely recommend you call and talk to him first so you he can tell you when to come in. Usually he can get the cars in and out. With me it doesn't matter cause i don't drive the car anyway......

Well its not like we were going to see it anytime soon anyway.. You would not drive it in the winter anyway . I think that it will look great when it was done anyway. Every car is alwasy a work in progress.
