Recommend me an excellent body shop in South Bay Area?
Hi Bay Area folks,
So my car's front bumper has quite a bit of rock chips from the previous owners tracking the car and I'm interested in getting the front clear bra'd or completely vinyl wrapped in another color and having the rock chips won't help adhesion. I'm attempting to fill in the rock chips, but there's some that have caused ripples in the paint that won't smooth out. Looking for recommendations.
FYI - I'm an **** **** and want absolute perfection. I don't like having to go back to have anything redone.
I can already rule out 2 shops I've had experience with in the past that have 5 star ratings on Yelp: B2 Perfection and Active Autobody. They were awful so no need to recommend these 2. I'm located in south end of Fremont so anywhere close by would be awesome.

I've had good luck with German Autobody on a couple of cars:

UACC in Burlingame is a great shop, do a fair amount of work for Rector. Had them paint/fit a GT3 bumper on my Cayman back in the day. (http://www.unitedautocollision.com/)

I've been using RJ at RJ's Paint Shop in Pleasanton for over a year with good results. That's the longest I've used a body shop for our projects:P I'm VERY fussy so

I have used Dell more than I would have liked to...
- Damage from CL failure on GT3
- Wife's new Cayenne rear ended at slow speed, only a cover but hate for a new car to get any damage.
- Friend's brand new (like 40 miles on it) boxster crunched from behind in LA traffic (she stopped, the folks behind her did not quite manage it, 3 cars totaled, she could drive away though definitely had a bunch of damage to repair).
Dell did great work in all cases. Talk to Terry.
