Default Body shop / Paint job recommendations

Recently my car got keyed (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2817862), so I'm trying to figure out whether or not to get my high-deductible insurance involved...

Does anyone have recommendations for places that do a good job repairing this kind of paint damage in the Bay Area?

Thanks in advance!

Default Did you check your deductible on vandalism?

On my policy it fits in with comprehensive like broken windshield, rock hits, etc. at $100 rather than the typical $500 collision deductible. Got a repaint on bumper and fender due to Halloween egg incident so I found out the details.

FWIW, I've used Superior Auto Body in San Carlos and B2Perfection in the Sunnyvale area. Both do solid body and paint work.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah, I was a moron. I came from a small upscale suburban community where the only thing car insurance was ever used for is accidents. And given my driving history, I considered myself a very low risk driver, so I was trying to penny-pinch on my insurance premiums. I'm definitely burned this time, but I've learned my lesson.

I'll get estimates from these two shops and post back numbers for you guys' enjoyment
