Here is the website for the place in PA. I pass it on the PA Turnpike everyday on the way to work. They often have a bunch of Ferrari's in there for repair. Their website says they're one of 7 structural repair facilities for the A8 in the USA:

You absolutely want to find a shop that has experience in working with aluminum and mica or three stage paint finishes. Also, you want to visit the shop first and make sure they've got all the necessary equipment to do the job right, especially if you have any suspicion of space frame damage; even the slightest sway can make the chassis handle really crazy and become unsafe. If they don't have a lazer frame machine or their own paint booth and further have no experience in aluminum or mica finishes, just smile politely and run- don't walk - run away!
