Insurance Friendly Paint/Body Shops
I need to have some work done to my front and rear bumpers so im looking for a place between Daly City and San Jose that is insurance friendly. I plan on filing a claim but want to have an aftermarket front bumper installed instead of the stock. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I want to find a place that will work with me but still provide an excellent job on the paint. Thanks

I have an 04 coupe. I also have chipped paint on the panel behind driver side that was caused by my car being egged. I am a bit nervous about having this painted because im worried it will not blend right.

Espana's has done ALL of the work to my G. First time, I was in a rear end collision and they did $12k in repairs, repairing the body all the way up to door & blending the paint. Second time, some metal crap hit my front bumper, grille & hood. Since the hood & grille needed to be painted, I told them to also blend the front half of the car, since the rear half was already done. Third time, because of the repair work they did from the rear end collision, when I went to have my fenders rolled by California Wheels, one didn't roll completely, leaving a indention on the fender. Took it to Espana's yet again, had them hammer out the indention flat, finish rolling the fender, and re-spray/blend that entire rear quartet panel.
And it looks like I'll be paying them another visit, thanks to my dumb a$$ scratching the $h!t outta my OEM lip.
Like I said, they do excellent work there. Which is why I keep taking my car back to them.

I'm pretty sure ALL bodyshops are insurance friendly since they seem to jack the insurance companies which is another reason why our premiums are so high.
Simple Image in San Jose is good but I think they shut down recently.
I've heard great reviews about Kreative Customs or Creative Kustoms. I don't remember the exact spelling.

also Chilton Auto Body near Broadway on Carolan does great work.. I purchased some 06 projectors off ebay and got some $$ back from insurance since they were less expensive than the ones they were replacing.. anyways they seemed pretty lenient since I think they rip off the insurance
