Unhappy Reputable Body Shops in DC/MD/VA Metro Area?

Watup Gsters. Wanted to know of a reputable body shop that gets the job done right the first time, can get the right paint match, has lifetime warranty on their work, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Is this too much to ask for??? I've been to so many body shops in the dc area, and no one for some reason can deliver this. I've been to Wagon Works (wagonworkcollision.com), apparently its one of the best in the dc area, but I had to go 3 times because they didn't do an A+ job. They had no problem fixing the damaged area after I wasn't satisfied, but it was such a pain going back and fourth. Finally i called the owner and he hooked it up, did a great job and even got me a rental car for the time the car was in the shop.

Do you all know of any body shop that's professional gets the job done right the first time without screwing up another part of the car, lifetime paint warranty, etc. you know what i mean. I got some small knicks and fender benders i need to take care of and I don't think I should take it on myself. And if you're going to refer me to your boy that has a spray can collection in his trunk...not interested . Thanks everyone

I took my car to D&V Autobody over in Chantilly. They're off Rt. 50 near where 28 and 50 intersect. Great shop. Great guys to work with. Ask for Ron or Kevin.

How was their craftsmanship/ guarantee of service. Chantilly is a little drive for me..but if they're a no hassle shop its worth it. Are they reasonable pricewise? Did they do work on your car? How's the paint match?
Thanks for your help

Yup they're pricey but they do excellent work. I've heard good things about Royal Auto Body as well.

They installed Nismo front, Ings sides, Gialla grill. All replicas. Paint match was perfect. The parts I bought were questionable, but their work was excellent. I have a DG coupe. Pics are up in Picture Share forum.

Thanks. It's far from being finished. Looks great in pics, but there are little things here and there that need to be addressed. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. The wheels make the car
