Dealer's Body Shop or Independent?

My TL received an unappreciated scratch to the back bumper from a nearby truck.

Would it be better to take the car to the dealer and let them (or their affilliated body shop) do the work, or find an Acura specialist in the area -Tacoma/Seattle?

Suggestions appreciated, thanks.

I've always been one to use the dealer's body shop as long as its reputation is decent for several reasons. First, when parts need replacing you can usually count on OEM. Second, when it comes to trade in time, they can't deduct for lousy work beings their shop did it. Finally, beings I lease my vehicles, the same could be said as the above in regards to turning the vehicle back in. Finally, WDP is a hard color to match. The factory reps will help the techs get it right if they are having trouble. FWIW.
