Repair shop recommendations?
Earlier today some Einstein decided to suddenly change lanes without looking, and I'm left with an ugly passenger side door and rear quarter panel that needs to be fixed.  Fortunatley, the other driver was honest and the cop told me I was not at fault when he filed the report, so hopefully insurance will take care of everything.
My car is only a Honda Accord, but as a car lover I try to treat it the same way I would if I had something nicer, even though I'm on a low budget. I'm not looking for expensive high-end places fit for Porsches, but I do want reliable and quality body/paint work that leaves no sign of the damage.
Is there anything in particular I should look out for when choosing where to get my car fixed or when dealing with insurance? There are lots of random little body shops around here, but I don't know which ones are trustworthy, especially since I'm a little picker than the average not-very-rich Honda owner. (That's why I hang out on PCARS!  ) Do you guys recommend any particular places that you trust with your "daily drivers"? I live in the Walnut / Diamond Bar / Rowland Heights area, so something closeby would be best. I just want to find a place that I can trust with getting my car back to its original condition without giving me a sloppy repair job or ripping me off.
Any help or suggestions would help a lot. Thanks!

If you want to make the trip to Rancho Cucamonga, try Foothill Auto Body. I've had them work on three of my cars and I've been very happy with the results and prices. Ask for Ryan Shafer and tell him Andre sent you.
