Default I got hit!!

Last night I was at a party and the neighbor backed into my driver's front fender while i was still in the car!! He cracked my fender and there was nothing wrong with his Jeep. But damnit im pissed now!! My perfect car isnt going to be perfect anymore.

So anyone know of a good body shop? Otherwise im taking it to the dealer. I just need a new fender and painted black to match.
