Car got broken into, any shop recomendations? (pics)

My car got broken into at the BART parking lot. Bastard(s) stole my Pioneer AVIC-Z1 and absolutely destroyed my dashboard. I have a couple of big scratches on the outside of the passenger door from the window being pulled out, the center console is all scratched and bent, the covers under the steering column and glove box are destroyed, and the leather is scratched up from the glass.

Anyone have any references for a shop to fix my baby back to new in the East Bay or SF/Peninsula? Damn insurance won't cover my tint so I need that window re-tinted as well. And the bastard won't cover my Z1...

Thanks guys,
Jay

So while I was waiting for the BART police to show up (over an hour), I saw about 6 different high school aged kids or groups of kids casing cars as they walked over to the bus stop. Unbelievable.

Here are some pics:

Crazy messed up!! Hurts to look at.

Hope you mentioned of those punks you saw casing out other cars while waiting for police. And maybe BART Parking Security will patrol more often now.

Yeah, that part of Union City has gone to **** in the last 5 years. Im LMAO @ the Avalon Luxury Apartments they just built there. I wish they would do away with the housing aid so that the area would return to normal. Fremont just did and its starting to turn back around...

Man, if Fremont was closer to you I would let you park in my underground secured parking garage...

Z-Car garage in San Jose might be able to do it.

They're legendary among Gs and Zs. The guy that pretty much runs the place, Rob, is very cool. Although he mainly does performance work, he can probably repair it and does high quality work. Will cost you a pretty penny but if you care enough about your car to get it back to its old self...it's a sacrifice that must be made.

better yet, closer to you...Topline in Burlingame. It's a dealership and a performance shop in one. Ask for Zim Gwee, the owner. His guys are experts at rebuilding and maintaining expensive cars. In his shop, G35s and Zs are small potatoes compared to his other customers who bring in ferarris, maybach, and bentleys. There's also a BMW specialist who only rebuilds BMWs classics if any of you have a BMW on the side. These guys are topnotch.
