Angry Car accident last night

Hi Guys,

Was hoping my first question to you guys on this forum was a happier one about my 05 wrx but......
I had a bit of an accident last night in my pride and joy, couldn't believe it. I'm fine but the car has seen better days..... have spoken to the Insurance company and it's all covered. But like all you guys I love my wrx and don't want no pork chop repairing it.

I haven't Dealt with any panel beaters in Perth before as I'm not originally from here so I'm hoping you guys can shed some light on the Smash repairs below for me. Are they any good? had any problems with them etc?

The list of repairers from the insurance company i have are:

Chas Greenwell smash repairs - Shenton Park
Priestman & Sharp - Shenton Park
Paull & Warner - Perth
Wark & Wainwright - Bays Water

Is there any other company's you would recommend?
The Insurance company said if i have a preferred repairer to let them know

Any help or guidance from you guys would be great!
Appreciate your help!

I'll be up for a new front bumper and lip and the brace in front of the radiator is bent. I was more concerned with the damage underneath. The strut brace is bent out of shape and the exhaust pipe is squashed underneath as it comes out and under the car from the engine bay so guessing that will have to be replaced there's a gouge/dent in the rear passenger floor and i've noticed some oil coming from the diff not a lot just around the seal but not sure if that is usual or not...

I swerved to miss a car and ended up hitting a medium strip (so worried about the suspension too) and running over a turn left sign but just a small 1 meter high one..... which went under the car.

Thanks mate it's good to get some reassurance on places. Cause there are some dodgy places out there. It's good to know when your car is getting looked after and not just in and out as quick as they can
