Not willing to drop my BMW to any body shop, I did my homework and even called the BMW dealer to ask for a recomendation on a body shop. The owner of the local dealer also owns a body shop, but besides recomending their own shop they also recomended Berli's. So I took my car to Berli's and after picking it up from the shop (and i'm a pretty anal about quality) I could only see good quality in the work they did (color matching, shine, parts and the amount of detail that is put in the finishing). At this point I wouldn't go anywhere else for auto body work or paint in Austin. Very courteous staff, prompt and helpful. I don't have much to compare with (since fortunately I didn't have many accidents) but it is the best body work any of my cars has received. Besides their staff showed to be very knowledgable about insurance's procedures, they would take the time to explain to you any and all possibilities you may face with the insurance (weather it's yours or the other guys insurance). In general, all car repair/service businesses are sort of hard to trust but in my opinion these guys are the exemption. I'd highly recommend this shop for any body repair, they are on the pricey side... but hey... you sure get top notch quality.
