Default Reputable Paint Shop Around PA?

Hey guys I have a quick question that I could use some help with. My brothers S4 just got a dent on the drivers side door from a damn trash can hitting it. The wind blew the trashcan right into the car. Good thing is that his car took the dent and the Z was saved because the Z was on the other side of the s4. The reason I'm asking for a reputable shop because his car is somewhat hard to color match becasue its Nogaro Blue. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a shop that will make sure the color is matched perfectly? Anywhere near PA is ideal, but we will travel a reasonable distance if there is a better shop somewhere.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

where in pa are you? my wife's car was just fixed from some really bad hail damage by a paintless dent removal company that travels around the area from body shop to body shop. her car looks like the day she bought it, absolutely amazing. every square foot had at least 1 dent and some area's were much worse then others plus the hood is aluminum. i would recommend seeing if this company can fix the dent first instead of painting the car.

I'm also curious about this, specifically in southeast PA. I haven't found a shop yet that really wants to get into aftermarket stuff (fitting, modifying, painting, installing). Only body shops that spend all day fixing minivans that got into accidents, who really don't want to be bothered by some kid and his aftermarket side skirts.

EDIT: To answer the OP's question, I have had decent luck with Brandywine Coachworks in Exton (and there is also one in West Chester).

I'm in Bucks County PA and it would be great if the doors didn't have to get repainted, but there are really deep scratches.

i know the company is out of reading pa. i'll have to get the company name for you tomorrow. they may even come to a shop near you, you'll just have to call around. the insurance bill for my wife's impreza came to just over $2000.00. if you would have seen the car before and after you'd know they deserve the money they make. i'm sure if you did a cash job it would be alot cheaper then an insurance job. the s4 is only one panel and not the entire top of the car so i'm sure the bill would be much less.

suburban collision inc in glenolden pa do great work but if the scratches are deep most likely you are looking at paintwork. ive taken every car ive owned to them at least once including the z. highly recomend them.

its prob. a hike for you 1.5 hr to 2hr drive depending where in pa you are so may not be worth it. BUT if you are willing to drive it,then performance motorsports in smithtown, NY
does amazing work. i had an s14 painted champion white and they where able to color match that perfect, as well as my is250 matador red, as well as my mazada3.

so if your willing to make the drive. you wont be disappointed.
