Anyone know of any good autobody shops around LA's suburb area that aren't too expensive? I need to fix a dent that's about 4 inches in diameter. The only one day I brought my new car to work and this happen. I have a commuter car that I use to drive to work, but it's in the shop today for maintenance. So, I drove the new car to work and park in the same spot like usual. When I was leaving for work, I noticed (well, it's kinda hard to miss) the dent on the driver side door. The dent doesn't impair the performance of the car in anyway, but it's a damn eyesore.

Two things to say:

1. I know of an awesome one in Bellflower (southeast L.A. County). Reputable, professional & inexpensive! I had damage on my car of anywhere between $4500 and $7000 according to various dealers and their body shops--got it all done for $1800 here. And I surely don't regret it one bit as the car looks new once again--no corners whatsoever cut in the process, either.

2. YGPM :)

If money's not an object (or gas or commute time for him), whaaa sure! ;) :D

Yeah, Marina Del Rey is quite a commute for me to go pick up the car as I live in Rowland Heights. Thanks LordUnum for the shop you recommended. It's still a bit far than I wanted it to be, but if I am left with no other choice I would give it a shot. I would prefer if the shop's specialty is BMW. I would rather pay a little more knowing I will get a good job done then get it done cheap and a poor body job.

I live there and goto school in Pomona. I see no problem. LA is the home of the long commute. BTW, the shops in the Marina are geared towards European luxury cars.
