Moved from ATL to NC Crashed CLS Need Shop
So I moved from Atlanta to take a job in North Carolina a couple of months ago.
This past week I was driving down I-95 and a transfer truck dropped a chunk of steel and I hit it. It caved my floor pan in.
I need a good shop to get it repaired in. I live in Benson (near Raleigh). Any advice about a reputable shop would be appreciated. 
By the way I got a rental today..... A FORD FIESTA!!!

Thanks for all the replies, but the CL is totaled.
Looking for a car now.
Foot is screwed up from the accident. It really does suck. I hate that the CL is gone. I REALLY loved that car. I do have to say that Geico took really good care of me and was fair with the settlement. Now I have to deal with the injury. Thinking about a TL this go around.

Totaled from a caved floor pan? Why not buy the car back and get that shit welded and throw the rest into mods? Is there more you didn't mention?

Damn, I'm just now seeing this. The only shops I know of aren't cheap by any means.
Sorry to see the CL was totaled

I too know a nice collision shop, but it's in Atlanta...
for what it's worth, I came from an 01 CL-S (not 6spd like yours though) and I absolutely love my 08 TL-S (6speed this time)
I wish you a speedy recovery!

Yeah it was alot worse than just the pan....
It got the floor pan, the seat is broken, the cradle, the trans has a big chunk out of it. The fire wall is screwed the carpet has a big gash in it.... It almost came in the car with me. The estimate by Geico was 8600.00 to repair + mechanical. It clipped the air bag wires and a bunch of other shit. It is gonr now. The state listed it as NOT REPAIRABLE so I could not purchase it back and ever put it back on the road. The VIN is dead.
Oh well I will just drive my truck for a while and see what I can get going. Look in the for sale section....
I have an OEM Honda Tbelt. water pump and drive belts I am listing tonight. Also have other new parts that never got installed like Camber kits front and rear also Moog radius bushing set.
Thanks for all of your responses. Gotta get the foot fixed after Christmas
