Got rear ended in San Jo Last night
So I'm sitting on Capital Xpressway in front of Coffee Lovers waiting for the green light when I see a pair of fast headlights in my rearview. The guy tried to brake late then swerve...a little too late. Clipped my rear right pretty bad with his 95 Prelude (post picks later). My right rear suspension took most of the damage, making my right rear tire turn permanently to the left and cracking my rim open.
So there goes my weekend.
So it's time to find a body shop. I'll take any suggestions. A few meets back I met a gentlemen with a titanium Rx8/MS kit who was in an accident gave me a business card for a Michael J's Body shop in San Jose. You out there? Want some more input on that place.

Try them both out. I used to do business in Matos' office, so I know from experience and just being about the place 8 hours a day, that they are a great bodyshop.

daym sorry to hear man, people drive like idiot on cap ex, especially the area by coffee lovers. Seems like that place does a decent job, I would definetly hit them up or pick a super high quality body shop, since the second party's insurance is paying.

michael j's is a pretty good place to go. i had them install my side skirts and overall i thought they were very good, especially if the second partys insurence is paying
