Paint/Bodywork recommendation

I hear D&V Autobody is great, but they are a little on the pricey side. They quoted me $13k. Could anyone recommend an alternative paint/body shop to install/paint new front and rear bumpers and respray the car? Thank you.

Took my car to Auto Body World in Fairfax last year. Had 3 spots (roof, trunk, rear quarter; ranging from nickel to quarter size) where tree sap ate straight through the clear, a tennis ball size dent where a deer hit me (not the other way around), and a bunch of small dents (like 10-15 all together) on the roof from tree nuts. Paid $1300 and they even vacuumed the inside of my car from all the winter crud. Phenomenal job on everything and I'd highly recommend for quality of work and pricing (plus theyre like a 5min drive from me in Annandale)

I've taken my car to D&V a few times and been very pleased, but agree they are pricey.

I'm also interested in body shop recommendations around nova. Chantilly Auto Body has been mentioned to me before, but I find it so hard to get decent advice on this stuff.
