Looking for the Best Body Shop in Eastern Ontario...

I messed up my door while I was parked in my garage - only wanted to reverse a foot so left door driver's side door open while reversing - obviously wasn't thinking and I hit a 2X4 stud with the top of my door - almost where it meets the window - it's only a few inches of bend but I need to find a top notch body shop to fix. I am in Ottawa but I willing to travel to anywhere in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec to get this fixed.

Does anyone know of any really super body shops in this neck of the woods? Can anyone explain the process as to how they may fix it - bend back and repaint? Any advice? To me PG would be a tough colour to match.... it's so close to the quarter panel - does that mean that section would need paint blend as well? On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being a perfect match) - how do you think this fix will go as far as getting it back to original? I have one quote coming in tomorrow from Car Star Collision in Ottawa and the guy said it could cost roughly $1,200...I feel so dumb... Pic below.

No idea but just wanted to express my condolences. It can happen to anyone of us, a routine maneuver gone bad.

Thanks - I feel soooo stupid though.... I tried a few of the "paintless dent removal" companies and they say they can't fix it because it's right on the edge of a panel... so I guess I am forced to go to a body shop and get it fixed and repainted...

You can try Picaso Autobody in Scarborough.

They have worked on my S2000, 350Z and they are now installing my Top Secret kit on my G. Not the cheapest, but the work is very good. I can send you some pics of my other cars if you like.

Talk to Phillip tell him Alvin sent you. 416 292 9741

Thanks for the note bachelor.

Got my first quote in for $1300. Money isn't the #1 issue - it's I want my car to look like this never happened.
Wow look at all the work that needs to happen to this little area...
