Wrecked!! Body shop in Dallas? (long-ish)

My first post and it's because a guy decided to turn left into my car. At least I have a witness that can fully put the fault on the other guy. Anyway, he hit the left rear door of my 2000 SE with his circa 1990 Sentra at fairly low speed. The impact then carried on to my left rear wheel (stock 17"). The car is driveable and I can even open my rear door just fine, but what hidden damage might have occured? It's a good thing that I still have the stock Potenzas because they broke traction and the car slid after impact absorbing a lot of the force - still not a good reason to keep them though.
Back to the point. Any recommendations for a good shop in Dallas?

Trophy Nissan actually has a good body shop, I hate the dealership, but the shop is good, also, Town East Ford's Body shop is real good. Where in Dallas would you like to be close too? I am a manager for an auto claims insurance office and was an auto damage appraiser for many years and can make recommendations for you.

That's where I bought my car. Yeah, they're pretty bad.

Where in Dallas would you like to be close to?
I live at (roughly) Forest and Marsh. So the shop at 2343 Merrell Rd is pretty close. But I want quality over convenience.

BTW, the guy hit me in the left rear door and did some damage to the rocker panel and the steel above. My left rear wheel got hit some too. Should I be on the lookout for some suspension damage as well?

thanks for the input...

In that area, I would take my car to Concours Paint and Body, they are the approved body shop for John Roberts BMW and they do excellent work, they are at 11415 Anaheim Dr., right behind the BMW dealership and Toyota of Dallas, talk with Garrison Kent if he is still there, you can tell him I referred you, I haven't talked with him in a while so I am not sure if he still works there.
