Rain + 15 freeway North + My G coupe = wreck on saturday. Need help guys.

whats up everyone. Well it finally happened I got into an accident with my baby. I have driven very causiously for the past 4 years with the car, trying not to leave it in areas where it might get bumped, dinged, or hit. And now the worst has happened.

Saturday at 2:30 PM on the 15 Freeway north by the 210 freeway. I was changing lanes to the merge onto the 210. When I went into the far right lane, there was a huge puddle of water sitting. I didn't see it because it was still raining pretty good. I guess I went over the puddle and my rear end slipped out. By the time the tires grabbed again I was already at a 45 degree angle and half in the lane to my left. Thats when a big chevy silverado hit my driver door spinning me out across 5 lanes. Luckily a couple cars avoided hitting me as I went across the lanes. It was all pretty scary and I missed the center divider wall but went down into the dirt median. and slid across the dirt.

The car still runs, the rims don't wabble, the only real damage is to the door and about 6 to 10 inches of the driver rear panel from the door. On the silverado, he only had about 2 - inch marks of my paint and a single scratch on the right side of his bumpers. no dents or broken parts and everything was straight on the truck. Those ****ts are built solid.

So now I've filed my claim but don't want to go through Mercurys Insurance body shops since I had a bad experience last time that still hasn't been corrected.

So here is what I need. I'm in the Rialto/Fontana area and need a super quality shop to do the repair. I will be using my insurance to pay. I have babied this car and don't want some beginner working on my car. I want this repaired by someone with lots of experience. I can take the car its drivable so as long as it not some ridiculous distance from my house I'm willing to take it. Let me know guys.

Or if you guys know any infiniti dealers that have in house body shops I'd be willing to take it to them to get properly fixed.

Thanks
Carlos.
Hey guys I'm located near the 15 freeway between the 210 and 10 freeways for anyone that knows good shop just hit me up. I want my car back in tip top shape.

I doubt any Infiniti dealerships have an in house body shop.

People keep saying the G doesn't have any problems, but when the tires only last 10k and you car hydroplanes and crashes, it's a big wake up call.

Add that's it's a RWD. People need to be careful. Check your tires. Especially during rain season.

I haven't seen an Infiniti dealership with a body shop, they usually outsource it.
Sorry about what happened. The same thing happened to me last weekend but good thing the road was completely empty.

Glad to hear that you're alright.

I'll post some pictures later in the week. I haven't been home enough to take some good ones of the damage. I'm willing to drive within 50 - 60 miles to drop my car off at a body shop.

To everyone that asked. Yeah I'm ok, my wrist is sore I think from tensing up during the whole incident.
