OT: Body Shops in LA

My girlfriend's previously unadulterated first generation with less than 30k is in need of some light bodywork. It was parked on her narrow street and someone hit the rear driver fender and broke the mirror. Luckily only the fender and the mirror were damaged, and not the whole side. The perpetrator did not leave a note. She described the damage to me, but I couldn't quite picture it. Around the wheelwell is a ripple-like effect, with no paint damage. Perhaps it can be repaired without a new coat?

Anyways, does anyone have recommendations for body repair in Los Angeles? She lives in Silver Lake, and she commutes daily to school, so anything in that area would be preferred. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the off-topic message.

Why fix it. Sell it to me. Hmm, lets see. At least 16 years old, recent accident, 30k (that sounds fishy) and its owned by a girl.
Ok, Ill take it off your hands for $300. Maybe more depending on options.

Sorry wished I could help but now where near LA. I hope its not that bad and everything goes well.
Did you try posting in the other sections. ie, lounge, 2nd gen and 3rd gen and the west coast section.
later

Thanks for the advice, I'll post in the other forums, too and see how that goes. We picked it up from the original owner last year at around 11K, it is now a daily driver with nary a problem, save quarter panel and mirror of course.
