Angry Need Body Work Advice

Yesterday, someone keyed my passenger side door!!! FRIGGIN' A$$HOLE$. I work at Philadelphia Naval Business Center, where it looked like someone took a key and made small circular motions, creating a dime-sized blemish, down to the metal, leaving a small dent!!! A fellow employee had their Jeep Grand Cherokee keyed TWICE!!! I guess these souless creatures can't tolerate anybody having a well cared for vehicles!!! Turns out that this will cost about $400.00 bucks to repair!!! I would like to know where there is a reputable body shop that will do EXCELLENT work! I mean even matching the factory orange peel!!! I live in Delaware and work in Philly. I am willing to travel to get quality work!!! My insurance company, USAA, recommends two ford dealerships in the area, to do the work, but I do not have much faith in dealership body shops, although USAA will guarantee the work to my satisfaction, as long as I own the truck! I would appreciate any recommendations. It is soooo difficult to find a body shop that does excellent work, these days!!!
Sorry for the long post!
Thanks!!!

Sorry about that crap, mine was keyed last month. The insurance company paid real good on that claim, as I only had to come up with $100 of it.
Just put it behind you and give thanks you did not catch him doing it. That always means someone goes to jail and someone goes to the hospital. Either one would cost much more than the $500 you are looking at. Plus you have to endure all crap at work about disfiguring some poor kid.
Good Luck with your paint,
Alvin

Watch out for the Ford dealers, make sure they are doing the work and not subbing it out...
