Default where to get body repaired in Northern VA

I tried doing a search first, but couldn't find what I'm looking for.

My car was damaged yesterday - the left rear fender is mangled and the left rear light is broken.

Does anyone know a good place to get body work done on Jags here in northern VA?

Thanks

If you have an aluminum body 04 and newer you need to call the dealer or jaguar and find out who in the area in certified to do aluminum bodies. It matters and parts are not to be sold to uncertified repair shops...otherwise i cant help you

My car was blasted in the passenger side when I got it in 2005 with 900 miles on her. I spliced 2 cars together and got junkyard and dealer parts to make it work at the local body shop. I took a while sourcing aluminum rivets and the body shop had to purchase an aluminum welder. The car has run without a problem since then. Only issue is after 5 years the body filler seperates from the aluminum, and I had that repaired and re-sprayed a while ago. Good as new. 145,000 miles happy. P.S I saved $25,000 after all was said and done
