    My Prius got hit on the front passenger side door while parking. Does anyone have a good body shop to recommend? My zip code is 91326 and I don't mind driving to have it done nicely. Thanks!

    When somebody scratched my bumper cover, I took it to Royalty Auto Body in Santa Monica (310) 393-3748. The end result is that I didn't get it repaired. But they were very nice in getting me an estimate, talking to the other side's insurance adjuster to get me the most repair (it is my understanding that the adjuster could have said they will only pay to spot fix the scratch and spot paint the repair). I just took the money.

    My girlfriend has had body work done to her car in the Valley. I'll try to get that information for you.

    I don't know anybody in Ventura County.

    Generally I would take it to a good Toyota Certified Body Shop. Mostly likely you'll get genuine toyota parts (not cheap off market parts) and a lifetime warranty on the repairs.

    Thanks guys! I'll take it to a Toyota Certified Body Shop in North Hollywood. The repair is covered by the insurance. Sorry for the late reply.
