Autobody shops near North Andover?

Does anyone recommend any auto body shops near North Andover? I've had my car for two weeks now and someone backed up into me and scratched up the left side of my rear bumper in the a parking lot today.
Should I just take it and get it done at a bmw dealer or is there somewhere better and cheaper?

Put all my and my family's cars in his hands.
Dropping mine off in a week for a bunch of front end work.
Say his work comes recommended from J Ferraro on this forum.
Good luck.

PS- most of that should just buff out. I don't know I'd invest a bunch of money getting it fully painted and I deff wouldn't bring it to BMW.

Alright I'll have to give them a call tomorrow. Any idea on what the price of something like that would be?

Naww you'd have to bring it by. I waited 3 weeks to get in, but my work is way more extensive. Should be able to squeeze you in for just a buff. Or check out...

I'd buff it out and touch it up. Small scrape to repaint the whole bumper but obviously that is up to you. If I was going to pay to repaint a bumper it would be an aftermarket one, not stock, and NEVER at a dealership.

Yeah, I've been thinking about buying an aftermarket bumper instead, obviously I'd most likely still have to get it painted though. Are there any nice looking aftermarket bumpers I should look into if I do decide to go that route? (would also need to have support for PDC)
