Body shop in Tucson, AZ?

Hi fellow Tucsonians. I was wondering if anyone knows of any reputable body shop in Tucson.

Unfortunately, I did not realize how incredibly thin the paint is on the FRS until it was too late. While taking off the dealership decal, there remained some residual glue from the sticker. While washing my car, I decided to use a soapy microfiber towel to scrub off the glue (stupid I know) and because it was relatively dark out, I did not realize the damage I had done to the paint until the next day. I created a bunch of swirl marks and the discrepancy between the good paint and the affected pain is quite apparent. Also, the dealership decal left a nice mark. Anyone know how to fix this or know of a place to do so? The damaged area is relatively small, about 6" x 6"

Apologies if this has been covered before and thanks!

Windows and Wheels in Gilbert, a bit of a drive for you but an absolutely awesome duo of detailers.
