Default My first accident in my XB!

I was on my way to work this morning and was in right lane that merges after the red light that I was stopped at. There was a truck in front of me and the light turned green so we started to go. Some idiot across the way decided to turn (even though his arrow was red) right in front of us so we all slammed on our breaks. I wasn't going fast, but I ran into his back bumper. He had a metal hitch sticking out of his bumper and now that is indented on my bumper. Not much damage, but it is going to have to be fixed. The black grill also got cracked. Does anyone know of anyone that is decent priced in the Chicago area and how much it would cost me to fix this?

Please help!

Thanks.

I ended up getting an estimate yesterday for $507 by my work and dropped it off yesterday. I should be able to pick it up by Friday. They ordered a new grill and are repairing my bumper. I am crossing my fingers that it turns out ok! Wish me luck!
