Auto body repair shop recommendations in Broward/Palm beach?

Wife dinged my car pretty nasty in three (3!) spots on the driver's door when her bike rolled over the kickstand. dented and deep scratched three places. Any reputable places who can repair the dent/scratch, preferably without repainting the whole door/corner panel?

I had a situation in which a rock hit my roof super nasty, all the way down to the metal. I contacted a reputable shop down here in Miami, and they recommended me Paintless Dent Repair and the touch up paint to prevent repainting the whole roof.

It actually came out pretty good. I would recommend this guy, but he works down in Miami which is probably too far away from you. The touch up paint you can pick up locally from Dr. Colorchip. The paint came out great.

Quite often there are high end dealers (Porsche, Rolls, Mercedes, etc.) that don't have their own body shops. If you have any of these in your area ask them who they use for their body work. All auto dealers have times when they need body work done and they will know who is the best. It's more than likely not a high end body shop but likely some little place off the alley. It's not the shop that determines how good a job they do but it's the individual person doing the work.

My previous car needed the whole front end repainted from an accident which ended up causing the original paint to peel. I used http://www.schmidtsautobody.com/, they have a shop in Royal Palm Beach and they did a fantastic job with my car at a reasonable price. They use top quality paint.
