Not major damage, but I'd still like top-notch work. I searched and found these recommendations:

Brooks Motor Cars in Oakland
Costelli and Pardini in San Mateo
Autobahn Body & Paint in Mountain View

Wondering if these are still in good-standing with Prime members and/or if any new shops might also be recommended.

I've had work done at Brooks Motor Cars in Oakland and they did a great job on my NSX. My Lexus may go there soon for a front end respray due to rock chips.
I can recommend them.

I hear great things about Costelli and Pardini as well.

Try Panel Craft on San Pablo in Berkeley, (510) 548-0815. Their quality is superb, they have had a few of their cars in the various tuner mags. They did some great work on my WRX (fixed two doors that got dented, and removed the lock core from the rear hatch, looks really clean in the back now).

Dave is the owner, his daily driver is an NSX (and one of the people that has rekindled my interest in the car) and is a real stand up guy. Last time I stopped by they had a white NSX in the shop. From what I have heard he also gets the thumbs up from the east bay F car owners too.

Tell him Chris with the WRX sent you.

Autobahn, had a front fender and front bumper done about 1 1/2 years ago. Good paintwork, but not very detail oriented on the small stuff.
