Question Recommendations Body Shop - Ashburn Area

Hit a piece of flying debris on toll road last fall, car has been sitting for the winter. Looking to get the Euro Bumper installed Jet Black before the spring.

Going through Allstate any suggestions for a solid shop to do the work and secure the parts? Alternative is I guess I can order the part via IND and have it installed just not sure how to work that with insurance. Has been a long time since I have been through this process so open to all suggestions.

Thanks

I've been happy with D & V Autobody. I had them install and paint 2 spoilers as well as some more major body work on our other car.

Gotta say D & V Autobody as well. I was fairly satisfied with their service.

You can order the part from IND and have it painted by them too. Just send them your tow hook cover so they can match the paint. Then when it gets here you can DIY the installation. It's very simple. You'll end up saving a couple bucks but the downside is turnaround time will be longer.

thanks thought about that. Depends on how claim will work.
If they estimate max of X for the repair (less deductible) and cut me a check that may be my plan. If I need to use a shop looks like D&V are the shop of choice.

Will reach out to them, I really want to replace it with the Euro Bumper and no plate drilling. The bottom has the chip I could leave as its not terrible but cant fix gouges and chips on molded plastic so each time I wash it I get mad again. With spring coming want to get it ready.
