I wanted to let the group know about a great body shop that cost 60% less than the body shop the Seattle SC to which we were referred, and did impeccable work. It's McCleod Auto Body in Kirkland. I strongly recommend them (and have no personal connection to them other than being a one-time customer).
A security guard at a federal facility checking the frunk (I should never have pointed out to him that the car had it) noticed it first - a small dent in the hood. It may have been caused by a large rock on the highway, or perhaps an errant shopping cart (or a small meteorite?). But it was just bad enough that it was noticeable, and thus needed to be repaired.
The Seattle SC referred me to a body shop that quoted > $1400. A friend told me about McCleod Auto Body in Kirkland, and said his really particular friend had taken his car there and been satisfied with their work. They assured me that they had experience with aluminum body parts, and I had them do the work.
For $600 including tax, they did impeccable work, and provided very courteous service. I couldn't be happier with the results or the $800 saved.
