Good relatively inexpensive San Diego body shop

Had a little accident and backed up into a pole. Punched a softball sized dent into my tailgate and scraped some paint off too.

Looking for some place that will do a decent job but won't gouge me.

I don't think they are cheap, but I have had a good experience with Marquez Body Shop in Chula Vista. I happened upon them while geocaching around Chula Vista (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=bf02acb5-c008-4827-90a6-14a8b67cc9cc) Had them do a estimate on my econo-box civic (rear bumper shroud messed up), which I'm still planning on having them do.

A couple of months later, my wife backs the 06 toyota minivan into a tree in Balboa park. (have pictures if anyone cares). We have the insurance people look at it, and my wife takes it to three shops for estimates (one of them Marquez, one in National City, and one up near Miramar). My wife decides she likes dealing with Marquez the best (I agree).

Our mini-Van is a white/metalic pearl color (Artic-frost pearl). Metallics and whites are usually a PIA to get right. Marquez did a great job on it. If I get down with a magnifying glass, I can tell the metalic flake in the paint is a tad different. But other than that it is spot on.

I feel they do good work and are very honest.
