Fiber glass repair shop recommendations SoCal?

Anyone know of good fairly priced places where I can take my car to get my front bumper repaired?

Thanks!

hmmmm is it really? If it's not that bad.. then i'd be down to try, but if the repair cost is less than $100 then i'd rather just be lazy and use the money I got from insurance to pay for it. The dumb guy that I usually go to for repairs quoted me $400...

its like paper mache. go buy a fb repair kit at walmart or autozone. fb is like cloth before it hardens. u cut a piece thats bigger than the crack then u follow the mixing instruction then u lay the fb onto the cracked area on the inside of the bumper. then u bondo the outside of the bumper and sand to smooth. thats it. u dont do anything with the fb u added once its hardend. and becus its on the inside it dont matter how it looks.

if the surface where the crack is is jagged then u gotta cut it open first or else u wont be able to bondo it easily. google it im sure there better instructions with pic. try it urself. once u see how easy it is ull be doing it all the time to repair it urself. its easy dude
