Body shop recommendation
Thanks to the folks offering lift suggestions in the other thread...
My teenage daughter (who is just fine) had an accident with the 2007 Lexus RX400h this afternoon. Damage to door, front quarter panel, and front wheel/suspension. Likely the other guy's insurance will pay but that isn't finalized yet. I would normally take my nicer cars to EuroPros. But with 150k miles and dozen years on a Lexus, I don't think the car is worth that much. So, any recommendations for auto body shops in Falls Church/Vienna/Reston?

If it is on their tab, why not work with a Lexus dealership? Get it 'done right' by a dealership's shop (or a shop they sub to) using all Lexus parts.
I've used Caliber Collision and had two good experiences, although neither were for anything as extensive as what you are describing. Caliber seems competent, but it may vary by location.

I liked D&D autobody on 355 & Gude. They fixed up the prius when it hit a deer AND got rear ended in a 24hr period and my WRX after that too found a deer on the highway
EDIT: Just realized you are in McLean and its probably not all that convenient for you and second Dave's suggestion of just use the dealer if you aren't paying

^^x 2 on D&V. Actually, they are closer to Arcola/west of Dulles than Sterling. Kevin and Arthur were my contacts recommended by Charlie and Omar. They did a great job on my Range Rover passenger side damage. Good luck

Another body shop update.. D&V has been promoting (at least on my FB feed) that they are an authorized PORSCHE repair facility...
