Angry X-Mas Day Car Accident...(Pics inside)

I need some help...I live in SoCal Granada Hills and got in an accident this morning. I was passing this car from the left when he decided to make a U turn from the slow lane and smashed into me. My passenger door, window, fender, and rear tire is smashed!
Can anyone recommend a good body and mechanic shop in the San Fernando Valley to fix my car? Since the car is rear wheel drive I'm scared the car wont drive the same when its fixed. Hopefully the whole car gets repainted since I have an 03 Pearl white coupe.

Please help!!!

sorry to hear that man. When I got rear ended in my Sentra, the trunk never closed the same. I took it to holmes body shop in the Valley....somewhere in woodland hills I think. They did an alright job, but I would be more **** with my G35 than my sentra. However, I was limited to the shops that were approved by the other person's insurance. It sucks, but hopefully the person's insurance is good. Make sure you go over your entire car so the shop fixes EVERYTHING that may have been messed up in the accident. For example, check all the sheet metal seams all over the car to see if anything like your hood, fenders, etc. are out of alignment. Good luck with everything.

Mobworks is very good, but they are pretty far away. I would go to a big reputable collision repair shop such as Caliber Collision. Also try 20/20. I have heard nothing but good things about them and I think they are located in LA.

Sorry to hear about that man! Lots of stupid drivers around the Northridge/GH's area. As for a body shop, go to DM Auto Body in Van Nuys. They work on Nissan/Infiniti's only and are recommended by Miller. I have had a couple of cars worked on there and they do perfect work. You'll see a ton of G's there.

An Insurance company can restrict the people they insure as to where the repair is done, but you can go wherever you want. The same applies to their policy on OEM parts.

Check some of the shops out in the Chatsworth/Canoga Park area area. You might try caling Precision Z to see if they can recommend anyone in the area.

Miller Infiniti doesn't have a body shop and they won't outsource to one either. They might recommend you to one or just go on BBB.com and look for some body shops with good reviews.
