Try to find out who your dealership sub-contracts. Dealerships rarely have their own body-shops.

Find out who they use, and try to go directly. That will save you some money. Don't worry too much - this stuff is defintely fixable.

I was rear-ended by a Honda Civic during the summer. LOL it slid under the X5, and I just had my trusty local mechanic repaint the rear bumper. I didn't even need to replace anything.

Try to get this stuff fixed without contacting the insurance if it's a managable sum. I look at this way:

You claim something from the insurance, and then you'll fight them to get a god shop do it. Then you'll get a higher rate from then on. And you might even have your policy cancelled right after.

Unless damage is in the thousands, it's better to handle this yourself.
