Default body shop in S.E. Michigan??

I need to get my rear facia repainted. The previous owner had someone bump into the drivers side of the facia (on the side part of it). It has a couple good size scratches and the paint looks like spider webs.

Can anyone recommend a good body shop in S.E. Michigan? I'll most likely remove the facia and take it in to be completely repainted. That way my car won't be tied up and I can work on some other mods I need to do.

Thanks.

Check out Van-Tel Auto 23047 Van Born in Taylor, about 1 mile west of Telegraph. They have a web-site. 313-291-1111.
They painted the rear facia on my C5 and did a good job matching the yellow color.

Yes I did. I ended up going to a local collision shop that had been highly recommended. I removed the bumper cover and all the trimmings and the defuser. The place is Paul's Quality Collision in Monroe, they did an excellent job fixing everything and repainting the entire bumper cover.

Autometric in Warren near the Tech Center is also a very good place to go. They repaint all the GM cars that executives drive. They matched the paint on my front bumper to the correct batch number (including the tint/shade profile).
