Body shop recommendation SoCa / OC ?

I'm looking for a good body shop recommendation for some minor cosmetic repair to the front end.
I have a couple of scratches in the front bumper and a quarter-sized ding in the left front fender.

I'm in Newport Beach and am am looking for a body shop that will do a good job without charging me an arm and a leg.

Any personal experience or recommendation is welcome,
Thanks.

Thank you for the recommendations.
The paintless repair route won't work, as the paint was broken, but I will reach out to Chris Sterling, thank you.

GTRR,
I believe I saw your 997 at Chris' shop yesterday.

I met Chris and he made me a 6-speed friendly price. Dropping the car off this morning.

Thanks to the forum for the recommendation!

Add me to the list of very happy customers of Chris Sterling's work.

My Porsche is paint to sample (which I did not know) and Chris did a FENOMENAL job, along with top notch service, going above and beyond every step of the way.

I could not be happier with his work (and his pricing) !!
