Default DFW: got hit, need body shop recommendation

thankfully not in the hawk...

was on a two lane road taking a left onto another two lane road. other person was in the left lane... a left ONLY lane. i was in the right lane, which is left, straight, or right turn.

i make a left turn, she goes straight. kaboom!

damage is just cosmetic, with the exception of me being wounded on the inside . almost no damage to her vehicle except scuffed paint (a jeep liberty)

if anyone knows of a quality body shop i can get an estimate from, that would be much appreciated. I live in SW dallas and work in uptown dallas, so i'd prefer stuff nearest to work so i can get rides back and forth. please dont recommend stuff in like johnson county or something cuz i'd never get anyone to give me rides back and forth.

if i can get her to give me cash, and if uncle sam is VERY good to me, i *might* consider getting the whole car repainted since there is plenty of other body stuff i need fixed.

here are pics:

Service King did an excellent job when some lady ran a red light on 1382 and hit the TA. And you know my green color is hard to match but they were right on the money! Plus they offer a guarantee I think compared to those mom-and-pop shops.

I would no go to service king.. Not heard anything good about that place.
I know a place in Plano, kind of far for you though.

they fixed my t-boned car and it did not look like it was ever wrecked.

But I still sold it.. LOL

I hear that caliber shop down the street from where you were hit does decent work. I've never used them though.

I have used Noah's here in Arlington on Cooper. They did a pretty good job.

Grubbs Paint and Body in Bedford fixed my car and the owner came to make sure I'm happy. Great place. Plus I know the owners extended family. All good guys.

Off of Great Southwest Pkwy on I20 on the west service road. But, you will get different opinions on all the shops.
