Body Repair Shops in DFW?

So I've got 3 deep scratches on my left door, two on my right door. All of them came from driving and they're noticeable; they're white and thick. There's a few dings on the front bumper, two on the rear, but the dings aren't much of a problem.

Anybody know any shops that can help me out?

I had my body work done by someone who does a good job, but he's a terrible business man and not reliable in terms of timeliness or keeping his word and therefore I would not recommend him.

I know that Gotham Racing has recently acquired a paint/body man. I haven't seen any of his work, but Steve (owner of Gotham) wouldn't hire anyone who didn't perform as expected.

Hillard Ford/Mazda has a body shop on 7th Street in FW and according to FTWMcmillian, they did a great job. I don't know what the pricing situation looks like though being a dealership.

Hiley Mazda uses Service King for their body work.

Jenkins had his work done by someone and it looks great, but you'd have to talk to him regarding a referral.

Str8cold also recently took his 8 to a shop, but again, you'd have to talk to him regarding a referral.

Thanks

I went up to Service King which is just nearby, and the quote was $1100 for a few scratches. Unbelievable.

Try First Class Collision (214) 330-5806 3606 W Davis St, Dallas, TX. It is not to far from Arlington. Tell them Chris from Team 16Niss with the RX8 sent you.

There is a link on my webpage for them with a map:
