Body Shop near Morris Plains NJ?

My daughter was rear-ended this morning on her way to work - she's okay, but her 2005 Mini has some damage. Does anyone know of a good body shop in the area?

Is D&M Autobody in Rockaway recommended by anyone?

Thanks for any help!

They do excellent work and when they say it will be done, it will be done. And they work directly with your insurance company as well.

Toni will answer the phone. Tell her Rich Wolfson sent ya.

You may find someone closer but you won't find anyone better.

Thanks - talked to Morristown and yes, they do have a shop they deal with. Passed it on to my daughter.

The person that hit her has Progressive insurance, and they are trying to get her to use one of their "preferred" shops....Morristown MINI is not on their list, and neither is the shop above....Progressive says that they can't guarantee the work of non-preferred shops.....seems a little fishy to me....

They go with the cheapest shops they can use, also make sure you demand OEM parts, and not equivalent parts, and make sure the invoice says O E M Parts, this makes a big difference if you go to sell the car later on.
One last thing, DJs autobody in Morristown is very good, right off speedwell ave
