Default Reputable bumper repair in socal?

wasnt able to turn up anything in searches, but does anyone know of any reputable shops or businesses that will do bumper repair for a reasonable price? Just wanted to know cause i've been wanting to get my bumper repaired ever since i was rear ended, but didnt want to have to leave it in the shop for a week or so for something so minor as just a couple imprints from the bolts on the other guys license plate. any suggestions would be appreciated and thanks in advance

depending on the severity of the bumper on your car i would suggest heading at carsmetics in Irvine, CA. I had my rear spoiler touched up for a nominal fee. They have a fast turn around on repairs ...painting...again depending on how damaged the bumper on your car give them a visit and see what they say also mention Jason (white 370z) said i recommended you over there btw ask for Dave Marshall ( Service Rep )

They've worked on many a SEMA car, as well as many of the most popular JDM cars in SoCal. We use them for all our personal cars, as well as the two GT-Rs we built for Mobil 1 and Toyo.

M1 and DTM are the one of the best body shops in SoCal. They have done great work on UAM cars and our SEMA cars for this year.

cool, thanks guys i'll look into all those that were suggested so far...it really is a very minor imprint on the rear bumper, like literally you cant tell it's there until your face is almost next to the rear bumper which is why i hesitated to take it into a regular body shop in the first place cause it seems like it should be a simple repair job. Anybody know if it's possible to just take the bumper off and bring it in to be repaired by any of the shops suggested so far?

Fountain Valley Body Works has some of the best paint matching for metallics I've ever seen. They repainted my PG front bumper and the paint match was perfect, far better than the factory paint literally.
