Default Need a trustworthy body shop to replace the front bumper

Anyone know of a reliable trustworthy body shop to fully replace the front bumper on a 06 Honda S2000. Long story short, while driving on the 60 freeway the car in front of me drove over a mud flap and kicked it into the air. I hit it going 70mph and it cracked the bumper as well as pushed in the plastic grill. I read the reviews of Service King in Ontario and am thinking of going to get a quote on the repair. I am hoping to get more suggestions, thanks in advance. Besides this damage the car and paint is in pristine condition.

Mission Collision Motoring in Ontario did an excellent job with color matching and installing the front lip and rear spoiler on my Spa Yellow Pearl (notoriously difficult color to match). Researched 5+ different places around IE before finding them.

If you replace the bumper cover you'll lose the VIN tag prospective buyers should look for. Unless you wreck the car you'll eventually sell it.

Matching paint is a PITA especially on different under-surfaces like steel (body) and plastic (bumper cover). You'll have the same issue with a new cover or repairing the original. The OEM front spoiler will cover this area nicely.
