Cheap Autobody Professionals in LA/OC county..

I'm not sure if this has popped up before on this sub-forum, but does anybody know or would recommend an autobody professional that does cheap yet satisfactory repairs on door dent removals and removing light scratch & paint swirl marks?

Been meaning to get rid of the paint swirls, but I got my first dent today and it hurts.
Hopefully this thread could serve as a cumulative list of shop references and people to go to for simple autobody work!

To be honest with you, I've had BAD BAD experiences trying to go cheap with auto body shops.

Personally I recommend you get it done by people who know what they're doing. And for sure @DTMAUTOBODY knows what they're doing with the twins. It's up to you, but if I were you, I'd get it done there.

Kelvin,
For PDR...it's a drive, but it was worth it...Mike's reputation is well known in a lot of forums...he took care of 4 dents all over my BMW M roadster...couldn't tell it was there... His number is 714-271-0003. I had it done about 1 1/2 years ago. Ultimatedentremoval.com. He's in the Orange County area though...worth the drive.

For light scratches and swirls...I recommend Mitch from eco shine auto reconditioning... he just took care of my BRZ a few weeks ago with opti coat. Very cautious and dedicated detailer... Mitch's number is 818-339-4909.

For body work...I don't have any recommendations.
