Recommend a body shop in Philadelphia area?

I have a bumper-contact dent in my front bumper... so I have to get the whole bumper replaced!

I have GEICO insurance, so they are trying to get me to use on of "their" shops. From what I've read, this seems like something I should avoid.

Mini of the Mainline suggested I use Orsini's in Ardmore, PA. Does anyone have any experience with them? Any other suggestions?

Is there anyway I could get a factory-painted bumper for a perfect replacement? I guess they would have to send that from the UK, if it was even possible...

Thanks in advance for the help!

There's a premium shop on 202 (Northbound lane North of Chadd's Ford) --probably still West Chester.

I used them once when I centered a bouncing re-tread in a BMW.
The lot is always full of high end cars. They do tons of Mini's.

I bet, if you call Otto's Mini they'll know who I mean. They are very close to each other...but they might not be GEICO-friendly.

My other minor bumps & bruises have been done @ various Grand-Sport locations. I DO NOT recommend them. Work is done to a low std and they spend more time managing your disappointment. Wave off on those guys.

If you have trouble finding the guys I mentioned, I'll be in the area soon.
