My car was hit by an SUV on the left rear quarter panel (close to the rear lights) and there is a big dent there. So now I am looking for a good body shop that can fix it properly. Anyone use one that they can recommend?
Many thanks.

Do you not trust your dealer's shop? I've had only good experiences and they tend to stand behind their work more so than outside bodyshops. Good luck.

Ohhh.....if you rather go to a dealer instead, I would highly recommend Foreign Motor West in Natick...their bodyshop is top notch.

Dick's is the place! I've had them work on 6 BMW's over the course of 24 years and they do absolutely top notch work. AND they are the nicest bunch of people you would ever want to do business with.
