Hello Gents,

I was involved in a car accident today about 2 hours ago exiting the freeway. Was at a complete stop then this person rear ended me. CHP came and gave me a report number. I am ok but have some neck pain. My car doesn't look too terrible, but will need a bumper job and parking sensors fixed/replaced. Sucks... :thumbsdown:

Any recommendations on a body shop in Orange County or even LA county? Are there BMW certified body shops? I want the body shop to use OEM parts for sure.

Will post pictures later. It's too dark outside.

Thanks guys,

I'd recommend Tri-Star body shop in Huntington Beach. Myself and another member "balbs" took our cars there and have had very good results. I personally know the owner and the shop manager there and they are really good people. The manager's name is Lawrence. Give him a buzz at 714.842.1716. Tell him Jason sent ya from the E60.net forum. They been in business a couple of decades and they do all insurance work as well. You won't be disappointed.

STERLING COLLISION CENTER IN SANTA ANA IS THE ONLY AAA APPROVED FACILITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. IT IS OWNED BY STERLING BMW DEALERSHIP IN NEWPORT BEACH. COUPLE OF EXPERIENCES WITH THEM HAVE BEEN GREAT AS THEY DEAL SOLELY IN OEM PARTS. THEY ARE FACTORY CERTIFIED FOR BMW, PORSCHE, LAMBORGHINI, BENTLEY AND FERRARI.

When I got into my accident, Mercury sent me to Autobody USA off lake forest. Best work Ive had done to date.

Good luck!
