I'm not in your area, but as a suggestion.
The best repair work I've had done was from the body shop in the back of my local Cadillac dealership. Everything was laser aligned and perfect when I got my car back.

My first instinct was to take it to my Pontiac dealer but who knows. This sucks, where is Chip Foose when you need him.

I would visit a Cadillac body shop before anywhere else.

Friend gave me access to his Consumer Checkbook account that has quite a few body shops in the area that people recommend based on price and quality. I really only looked at the quality perspective. Going to talk to one on Friday and see what they think. Looked for Caddie body shops and didn't find much close by.

Check out WagonWorks in Alexandria on Rt. 1. They are somewhat across from Potomac Yards. I've seen there work before and they are amazing. Not to mention that most of their customers are MB, BMW, Audi, Acura....you get the idea. A friend of mine took his 4yr old Integra there for front end damage. I absolutely could not find any paint flaws/mis-matching and the body was perfectly alligned and gapped.

Having exposure to the auto body repair industry, I would look around for a good local body shop. From my experience, dealership have a higher than average turn over rate and they hire a lot of people that are new to the industry. Look for an established repair shop that does quality work.

Yeah I've done quite a bit of looking around. Going to a local shop tomorrow and check them out and see what they say. Hopefully I like what I see both with repairs and the paint shop.
