98 Gsx Crunch - Help!

[Lightning]

Got a 98 GSX that went head on into the back of a Chevy Tracker. Now I need advice on where I should get quotes from for my insurance guys. They say they'll accept any reasonable quote, and cut a check right to the repair shop. It needs both cosmetic and mechanical repair. Basically because a Chevy Tracker is so high, his bumper pushed everything above my bumper in about 1 foot. Don't know the extent of damage to the internals yet, but I should soon. What I need is advice on good reputable repair shops for either the cosmetic damage, mechanical damage, or both. Colorado Springs only please. I'd prefer to be able to have some say as to what parts they order to replace broken ones, for instance, the headlamps. Instead of going OEM, I'd rather spend LESS and get the projector beam headlamp assemblies.


I appreciate your input!

I've had my car repaired twice at Blosser's Auto Body on Circle and Platte, once for vandalism and once for an accident. Overall, they've replaced my passenger window, the hood, both front quarter panels, one headlight, and did some excellent paintless dent repair!! And they did an good job repainting the car, the color matched perfectly.

But then again, that's all cosmetic stuff. I'm not sure if they repair any mechanical damage.
