Default Collision Repair in NOVA - recommendations?

So I got rear ended on my way to work last Wednesday. Split my back bumper the whole way across, dented my hatch and chipped off some paint near the license plate, and the bottom edge of the trunk is pushed in a little bit so the trim doesn't sit flush anymore and the latch hits a little but still closes.

Luckily, the guy was cool about it and his insurance is gonna cover everything. Now I just have to figure out where to get it done. Can anybody recommend a good body shop in northern Virginia? Preferably near the Dulles area.

The insurance company suggested these places, where they also have a claims office and car rental on site:

1. CRAFTSMAN OF STERLING
202 LANE CT, STERLING, VA 20166

2. MOORE COLLISION CTR
25440 PLEASANT VALLEY RD, CHANTILLY, VA 20152

3. POHANKA BS CHANTILLY
14000 WILLARD RD, CHANTILLY, VA 20151

4. CRAFTSMAN OF LEESBURG
4 CARDINAL PARK DR, LEESBURG, VA 20175

5. FAIRFAX CHRYSLER
10620 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VA 22030

6. CHERNER LINC-MERCURY
8550 LEESBURG PIKE, VIENNA, VA 22182

7. MASTERCRAFT MANASSAS
9103-A OWENS DR, MANASSAS PARK, VA 20111


Anyone have experience with any of these? Other recommendations maybe?

Thanks!

Mr. Spoiler in Manassas. Did my front and rear bumper seamless molding and paint. They have done many magazine cover cars. Highly recommend! They do insurance claims as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

I went to a body shop to have a scuff fixed awhile back. Luckily it was able to be buffed and didn't need paint, but the guy who did it warned me that the FM is very hard to match because there are several different flakes in it. Anybody have experience with having their FM repainted? Is it really that difficult, or was the guy a twit?

I would say choose any of them. If your not satisfied with the work then you can take it back and they would have to fix it.
