My new car has a boo boo

. The underside of my car was hit with what I think was rock spray ... the lower portion of the panel on the front passenger side door has a dent and 2 dings/chips, with severe enough damage that I initially thought one of the dings was a hole. It's too low to have been caused by another car, and because there's missing paint and she's practically new, I'd like to get her fixed ASAP by someone who does top quality work. My old Accords were fixed by Old Towne Auto Body, and Wagonwerks (before it got sold), but those repairs were in years ago (and my G ain't no Honda). I'd appreciate some recommendations, in case there are better places, especially since I haven't decided whether to put in a claim, and might wind up paying out of pocket. Thanks in advance!

I might be able to help you out. We just recently hired the old manager from Olde Town Auto body here. We are also using the new dupont water based paint system. PM me for details. Nice G btw

D&V in Sterling is good, but pricey. http://dandvautobody.com/

+1 - Tip top shop, excellent customer service, excellent work. It's going to be pricier, but I'd rather pay a bit more and trust my car is in good hands, than the alternative.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check out D&V, just need to see when I can get out there for an estimate, since I decided to go through my insurer (yay, not a chargeable accident!), and I have no problem paying more for top quality work and trustworthy performance/service.

Thanks again y'all!

Also recommend D&V.

Just got my G back

and wanted to give a quick thanks to all those that recommended D & V ... well worth the drive! They did the work for the insurance company's quote, handled the rental car return on my behalf, and most importantly, made my car look as good as new (given that I have moonlight white paint with lots of shimmer, no easy task). They took the time to discuss the process beforehand, called with status updates, turned the car around quickly, and after the work was finished, they detailed the entire exterior, including the wheels. Thanks y'all!
