Body shop in tri-state area?

I'm curious, how did you track her down and prove it? I would loved to have seen her face when you found her.

This place always has hi end cars in their shop. Many Ferrari, BMW, Porsche (including mine), Benz, etc have been fixed here. I've used them 2x and they are awesome.

I was actually kind of proud of myself for finding her! The security camera had gotten moved ( unrelated ) so I was just out-of-frame on 2 cameras. So I went thru the parking lot with a tape measure, looking for damage at the same height as where my car had been hit. It's surprising how many SUV's have scratched bumpers!! I only found one fairly good match, though there was very little damage to her SUV. Knowing what car to look for, I reviewed the camera footage. Her trajectory backing out looked to be right where my car had been. As confirmation, the next day she parked at the other end of the lot, instead of in her
normal spot. I didn't have a smoking gun, but I did my best Law & Order bluff, acting as if she had been shown on camera. Her reply: " Yeah, I did feel a little bump. Oh, was there damage?" Uuugh! In the camera footage, she hadn't even hesitated while pulling away.

Thanks for the recommendation, keep 'em coming.

I also used Cavallo when I hit a deer with my 3 series. Excellent work and very professional.

You are just one of many of her bump n' run. And she knew she hit, that's when she went forward. I am 65, we bump somebody, we get out and look, no damage no harm. If we have damage we leave our name and number. Old school, be responsible.

Well if you're going to actually use your insurance (dind't know people actually do such things ) then I would call Quality Auto Body in Rahway, NJ. That's union county right off of route 1&9. They do work for Ray Catena Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes and Maybach. HIGH END... I stopped by for a quote one time and there was a powder blue Lambo sitting in the lot with extensive damage and right next to that was an Aston Martin that had huge gouges on the roof and side quarter panel. I guess those are not cars you take to just anyone.
They have one shop where the prep work is done and then the cars are driven to a second location where the paiting is done. If I recall correctly they quoted me about $500 per panel. I was looking to have my hood, front bumper and both fenders painted. So about $2K. Well obvsiously I found another spot that did a 99% good job for $800 including taking the new GT3 bumper out of storage for me.
But if its not on your dime take it to the best.

I previously worked at Enterprise Rent A Car.

There is a body shop in FAIR LAWN NJ called UNITED AUTO.

We had a good amount of clients who had their cars repaired there from basic run of the mill to exotics and classic cars.

Their paint matching is SPOT ON, my customer crashed his 1988 BMW M3 and they restored it and you could not tell at all from paint to spot welds.

If you really want a top notch auto body repair facility check them out.
