Drunk driver...need a body shop in SoCal

Hi all,
My Raptor was parked in Costa Mesa, CA Friday nite when a DD clobbered it. He hit it right between the back of the rear quarter-panel and tire on the driver's side. The impact was strong enough to break the back axle off and pop my [newly installed] bypass suspension tubes (fyi, there's a lot of fluid inside those, not that i wanted to know that). It also pushed the truck about 6 feet forward and up over a curb.

Mercifully, no one was injured.

I now need to get it to a body shop and would appreciate any recommendations on top-notch places around Orange County. Who would you trust to work on your own truck? Any thoughts about going to dealer as opposed to an independent (especially for a fully-kitted truck with lots of aftermarket mods).

Looking forward to any advice and names.
thx so much!!!

@oxfordraptor might have some suggestions for you.

wow that sounds severe, got any pictures?

Yup...i'm not mechanically inclined, but really this looks not so good. The white part in the street was from the DD's car.

Man that sucks looks like SVC podium package?

Holy sh*t....., time to talk to SVC or RPG and bed cage the rear and add a Currie

Yes it is...and i was just about to get my first serious session with it this coming weekend.

Call Corey at RPG or Jeff at SVC. Either one will have options for you. They both have body and paint people you can trust and are in your area.

@RaptorAddict and @Raptizzle

both are accredited members here (well i dont know about tizz) they can help you out
