Vancouver Body Shops?

I recently traveled from Indiana to Vancouver (very long but very incredible drive) and while appreciating the scenery in lovely South Dakota I smoked a deer. Maybe smoked isn't the right word, I slow roasted a venison steak on my radiator while making the underside of my 8 look like the meat locker out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In actuality I didn't knock the deer over but simply ran over its enormous body, what can I say, it was a charity case. Either way, once having my radiator fixed, I continued onto Vancouver and am ready to finish off the rest of the repairs and body damage. Does anyone know of any reputable body shops in the Vancouver area that they would recommend? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for the leads. I'm here atleast until April when my student work permit expires, unless I hopefully find work in film prior to that. I'd most likely need a rental while the car was in the shop and going out of Bellingham may prove to be a problem with taking a rental out of the states. Let me know what you guys think.

you want to fix it like it was the real thing? Then I reccomend you to got Hugh Auto Body on Capstan way in Richmond jus 10 min away from vancouver. Ask for Lapsing the auto body manager and he will fix it professionaly and give u a great deal. Mazda sends their cars to this guy and he knows how an rx-8 should look drive. PM me and ill tell you what to say to the guy and once u mention my name he will give a real good deal.
