Question Slightly O/T - Good body shop in Dallas

My new GMC Sierra got rear-ended by a school bus last week and consequently I need a good paint and body shop in the Dallas area. Any help would be appreciated.

For the porsche content - I still have not finished replacing the carpet in the 911. It was 104 here yesterday and that is a little warm for working in the garage.

Thanks,

I've always been happy with Service King for normal cars. USAA uses them for the recommended shops in the area, and the repairs they did to my 240SX and Acura RSX-S were both top-notch. Of course, I have a different level of expectation for the Porsche, but I haven't had any body work done on it yet. At least not by someone who knows what their doing.

One of the best is Stuart's (http://www.stuartspnb.com/), but they generally do more exotic cars (Ferraris, Porshes). They repaired my friends Audi S8 and did a remarkable job. They may be too pricey for a GMC, if they'd even do that.

I would just say Service King for a Sierra.

I can vouch for Stuarts...they did the hood of my '88 Guards Red coupe and matched the paint PERFECTLY. The also cleaned up several rock chips for a small additional fee. When my car was there I think about 1/3 the cars in shop were Ferraris or Lamborghinis (sp?). I guess it's your call if it's worth taking a GMC truck there.

Stuarts is the BEST but mucho $$$$$.
I don't miss Dallas when I think the temps in July abnd August. It was 55 here last night and about 70 right now. I only miss Dallas when I have to put my SC in the garage for winter as the snow starts to fly and every day there after until spring.
