Thank you for your posts!
The same thing happened to me at work. Let the insurance pay for it. It's what you pay them for. Where in California are you? I know a great shop in Huntington Beach.

Hi Balbs! I would definitely appreciate a shop repair reference! I'm currently in Marina Del Rey.

I'll have a damage estimate from a Geico approved inspection shop (Jim and Jack's collision center in El Segundo) on Monday.

Lawrence is great to work and deal with.

His shop was referred to me by another member here.

I have used him first when my hit & run happened, then at least a couple more times for my MTech body kit paint\install and roof and rear spoiler paint. My car is Titanium Grey Metallic II and he matched it perfectly each time with the car. Even though I live about 1 hour from his shop, I trust him enough to bring my car to him.

Incidentally, my daughter just got a fender bender a couple of weeks ago. I plan on bringing her car to Lawrence once my daughter goes back to school and when her car is free again.
