Default R is hurt, any recommended bay area, CA body shops???

My car was rear ended a couple of days ago while on my way home from work. The moron said that he was sorry and wasn't paying attention because his music was on loud. WTF! That statement made me want to push him out into traffic for his stupidity and so he couldn't reproduce any more idiots to replace him in the world. Anyway, any one know of a great body shop in the bay area, CA, preferrably in/or around San Jose? I had taken it to the dealer when someone had backed into my front end (another moron, no relation, hehe) a few years ago, but the paint job didn't hold up too well. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

AJ's Auto Clinic.

They do great work but they are in Oakland. Mention my name, I'll split the finder's fee with you. Let me know first though.

try south valley inc. off 87. http://www.southvalleyinc.com/ they do great work but they're kinda pricey though. they are a famers insurance shop so if you got them them go there. they also take other insurance companies too. they have a lifetime warranty on the paint and the work, so if anything is wrong you can take it back. they can also put aftermarket stuff but you have to split the difference.
i took my car there when i fucked my front up. ask for jeff.

My friend got work done on his car at Laguna Autobody in Milpitas.. Car was in a front-end wreck and suffered a little frame damage -- you can't even find any evidence on his car that he was involved in an accident! They did excellent work

Those shops are in SoCal. I honestly have not found one great body shop up here. It seems in SoCal there are so many, but up here in NorCal, they're purdy darn hard to find...

P.J. Bonifacio is the man he does as good if not better work than 20/20 for halh the price . Crashed the **** out of my car in JAN and the front had to be replaced and well he fixed it and repainted my car IS 300 graphite grey pearl and I love it shines so bright I have to have sunglasses on and has lots of clear. Top notch work man the best for the buck in my opinon.

Gordon, sorry to hear about the accident.

Just make sure that the people you deal with can be trusted. Too many shady paint shops that hack your car these days. I would only go to a shop that is very, very reputable and a member of BBB and have one of your good friend's approval. G'luck.
