If this is not an insurance claim and you are going to pay out of your own pocket, then, I would recommend Baba's AutoGloss on 730 Mooawa St., Hono,HI 96817 Phone: 330-2195. Talk to Paul he is the shop owner, had work done by him and was totally satisfied with his workmanship and his price!

damn that sucks *****, did you park in the park? or in the residential area? i usually park in the residential area away from the trailhead, and jus walk the rest of the way in. so far i haven't had any issues.
either way i'd go thru insurance for that one, judging by your pic the "X" is on your rear quarter panel? if so thats mos def gonna cost more then your deductable. but yes, JL autobody is top notch... along with the super high cost attached to it. Joel actually charges more then what insurance jobs but his work gets no complaints. i've taken my car to gx auto when paying outta my pocket, thou my front bumper has chipping issues. other then that mike at gx auto does good work for a good price.

I played this game with my adjuster once. He told me that it was an industry average that they use. i.e should take X hours of labor at X material cost on average. The only problem was there was no shop in the immediate area that would do it for the adjuster price. Finally he let me get three quotes from three reputable body shop and he took the lowest estimate. BTW this was in backwoods Georgia for a 86 300zx Turbo.
Good luck on the repairs.
