It finally happened...(accident)
I was rear ended this morning coming home from church. 
I was at the El Toro Rd. exit from the 5 north waiting for traffic to clear so that I can make a right hand turn onto El Toro road. A white Ford F250 behond me crept up and apparently "thought I had already left" bumped into my rear bumper causing various scratches and dents and breaking both the rear brake light housing and turnsignal on the drivers side.
It took a lot of effort to control the rage after my nearly perfect 2004 Daytona Blue 350Z Touring was molested.
So...I'm in the market for a body shop to fix my baby back to perfect condition and I'm considering M.O.B. Works in Orange.
Does anyone have any experience with them and can fill me in on their work, please? Post pics, too!

Sucks bro exact same thing happened to me a while back and let me tell you my girlfriend had to stop me from letting out my anger on the guy. She calmed me down and glad she did also otherwise I would have maybe rammed his face on his hood...

McAllister did an outstanding job on my car so yes, dealer recommended body shops can do the trick at times.
Hope it all works out for you

Still hoping to see some of the work MOB Works does. I've searched and only found threads from more than 1 year ago.

I had a fender bender and MOB works fixed it extremely fast. Paint is better than new with factory orange peel gone and don't need to clearbra afterwards with such durable paint. I might have been the last Z there as there was another roadster being done. Mention me and the hard time I gave him. It's a near perfect job I would say.

Update:
After completing the paperwork trail through the insurance agencies, the other guys insurance agency is sending me a check for the repairs. This includes replacing my drivers side tail light, replacing the rear bumper cover (as it was creased and showed stress cracks - also, I don't want any body filler), and, of course, paint and install of all components. Grand total for the repairs was about $1100.
I took my car to Miguel at M.O.B. Works in Orange and he took care of everything professionally and with excellent customer service. He notified me of everything that was going on with his end and his contact with the other driver's insurance agency.
I highly recommend M.O.B. Works based on excellent customer service.
I will post pictures of the car after the repairs are done next week.

Spray paint, that would have been a plus. They used oil based home interior paint and used a cheap roller. Now my body panels have this damn lint and small flies that got stuck while the paint was drying that I cant get off. I am going back this weekend to have racing stripes painted on with a paint brush! Cant wait.

Weird.... I had an incident on El Toro Rd. 2 months ago on the entrance to 5 north. I also had my rear bumper painted by Miguel@MOB works, he does an awesome job in quick time.
