Default Body Shop Recommendations

I was in a minor accident last weekend; some lady wasn't paying attention and hit my back bumper. It wasn't major, but my rear bumper has her license plate frame outline on it...
Does anyone recommend a good body shop? I know that my paint color is hard to duplicate, so I'm afraid to take it to just any shop. I called local Lexus dealerships, but I didn't get a good vibe from their referrals.
Please help!

I suggest Evolution A.B.P in El Monte. They just painted my car and i'm really satisfied with the results.

I would take the car to a Lexus authorized repair facility which is typically a bodyshop owned by a Lexus dealer. JM Lexus of Margate has one in Florida. I'm sure they exist in California too. Call Lexus and they should tell you where the nearest one is. Or call around the mega-dealers.

I would try Caliber Collision Auto Body if ur in so cal. When I worked at Walters Mercedes, that's where all the auto body repairs went. They are all over OC and IE.
