Default A "trusted" body shop, options needed

I finally get things running good on my can and 16 year old kid (who only had his car for 2 days!!!) ran a red light and slammed into my driver side rear wheel/quater panel. I am a little pissed but these things happen. Now I need a trusted body shop that's not going to rape me. I prefer shops on the West side but I am open to travling a little..

Yeah I saw your car over there the other day. Tim is the man when comes to any car really but he is very good with the F-bodies he owns 6 or 7 of them now LOL! I am sure there are other good shops in Houston, but no matter where I am I will always take it to Lane's as I know that there is no place any better.
