Looking for High Quality BMW Dealer Bodyshop in LA

My son's 2 month old e90 was rear ended on a LA expressway today. He and his friend were not hurt fortunately. The rear bumper did its job well. It and the exhaust pipes are are pushed in. Please recommend a high quality bodyshop in the area of West Hollywood. The car was purchased at Pacific BMW. thanks for your input.

I'm not a regular poster here, but I can help. Try Marcos Autobody in South Pasadena. They do a lot of work for New Century BMW and the Rusnak Auto Group. Their work is top-notch and they stand behind their work. They did my TiAg '99 328i (front end collision); I was very satisfied with the job they did (especially the paint).

My son lives in West Hollywood. My wife and I live in Chicago.

My son went to grad school at USC and stayed in LA after he graduated. My wife is still pissed at me. she says that I should have encouraged him to go to Purdue. Nobody stays in West Lafayette after they graduate.

I know South Bay BMW uses Advanced Collision Technologies:

http://www.advancedcollisiontechnologies.com/

I took my car to get an estimate there and they charged a $998 to change my bumper. For a second estimate, I took my car to Rosecrans Autobody in the south bay and their estimate for the same work was $891. I haven't had my bumper fixed yet, but it seems either shop would do a steller job. Rosecrans autobody did a great job on my girlfriend's Corrolla, but my sales rep says Advanced Autobody is a certified BMW repair facility (as you can see on their website). For $100 I'd go for Advanced Collision.

BMW Repairs/Bodywork

I have used Pacific CoachCraft in Marina Del Rey before and my BMW came back looking better than showroom. They do great work.

Center BMW in Sherman Oaks has a body shop next to it called Pride Autobody. I've had many recomendations/referrals to that place. Took a look at the shop to get an estimate, and the shop looked great.

But the estimate was expensive. My repairs weren't covered under insurance, so I went elsewhere.

I know someone with an E90 who needed a new front bumper. Beverly Hills BMW did a great job and didn't charge that much (although the other person's insurance paid for it anyway). It was around $1000 for a brand new front bumper and to replace some support bar behind it. Very professional, lifetime warrantee.
