small dent-anybody knows a reliable body shop in South Florida

Anybody knows a reliable body shop to fix a very small dent that was made to my car at the time I had my front spoiler installed, one moron at this place used a service lift jack instead of using one of the car lifts that this shop uses for this job, this guy made a very small dent underneath the door panel, it is noticeable only if you bent down but now that I have seen it I want to get it fixed, don't want to take it to a BMW Body Shop because they will probably rip me off, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, my car is jerez black

can you take a pic of the dent? I'm in fort lauderdale, (dad has a body shop) but i wouldn't want to paint it if you didn't have to.

Shoot me a pm.

Thanks IFX, sent you PM
Just found a body shop (Bimmershop) right next to Braman who will fix this dent for $200 and car will be ready same day, Braman quoted me at $350 and would have to leave my car for 2 days, so I chose Bimmershop although I still think it is way too expensive for the kind of dent it is but I guess that is what we have to pay for owning a BMW

here is a picture of the dent (sorry for the picture quality-taken with iphone), it is hard to see it because it is so small

Unfortunaty the paint looked cracked at the dent so I had to have it painted, just picked up my car from Bimmershop, it looks perfect, great job but still think that $200 was too much for such a small dent but it is done!
