Default Got hit, need bodyshop

So some dude hit me from behind while I was sitting at a stop light. Anyways, i've taken it through insurance and now I need to get this thing fixed. I'm looking for a place with a connection to dealerships and not "Joe Blows Import Shop" since my insurance has the final say. Im looking for something in the Mississauga area.

It's just two dings from the screws holding his license plate as well as the outline of his plate.

For your information, your insurance does NOT have the final say as to which body shop you can or cannot use to repair your vehicle.

YOU have the final say and decide which body shop you want to go.

The last thing you want is to go to a body shop that your insurance recommends to you because they might try to find the cheapest one to save $$. Or a body shop that has never worked on your vehicle before.

What I meant by "final say" is that its just a new bumper I need and I want to be in and have everything look exactly like it was stock. Picking "Joe Blows" bodyshop will get me a visit from the insurance company wanting to check out my car and all that nonsense. If I pick a nissan collision centre, i'm going to probably get a good job done with a warranty, and my insurance company will let them estimate on their behalf. Obviously i'm not going to pick maaco or whatever.
