Looking for a body shop in the South Bay CA area

I'm looking for a good body shop in the South Bay area, preferably a place thats familiar with race cars. Some idiot bumped me in the school parking lot (on finals day ) and I'd like to get it fixed up as soon as possible.
So if anyone knows a place that does high quality work, please let me know.

Thanks!

how bad is the damage?
maybe you're better off replacing a fender if it isn't that bad...
i got a dude at work that takes out dents and what not.

depending on the damage, i'll ask him a quote for how much it'd be if i do see him.

Not exactly South bay but he's done a couple drift cars like Justin Pawlak's FC and some nice show cars. The shop is called Seven Apple and is located in Santa Fe Springs and about 20 mins from Gardena (assuming there is no traffic).

Unfortunatly, I got hit in the rear quarter panel, so I need the dent pulled and some paintwork. I'm thinking I'd much rather get the whole car repainted than try to get it color matched to the fade :P
My main concern is for the frame. Although I didn't get hit that hard, I would rather be safe than sorry, as this is my track car.

Thanks for the help and info guys
