Default Good Collision Shops - Wreaked my T/A

Well, yesterday morning, I spun out in the rain. The car went sideways, jumped the median, and slid across the grass until I bounced off a hydrant. Ouch!! I hit right on the passenger side at the door jam/front quarter panel section. It's pushed in a good 8 inches (that's what she said!).

Anyways, it's driveable, but the lower control arm is slightly bent. I took it to Gay Pontiac for an estimate and they are telling my it might be totaled out - estimates over $9,000!!!

Call it denial, but I refuse to think this car is done for. So, are there any good collision shops that anyone can recommend that would think this is fixable? Thanks.

Hard to tell in the pictures how bad it is... but definitely needs a hard pull and a new quarter and door... Rocker panel is probably nice and waded up too. But you can bring it by the shop and I'll take a look at it if you'd like.
