Aluminum Body Repair in NorthWest?

I'm looking to obtain a 2nd estimate to do significant aluminum body repair work on a 2016 AS trailer in the NW (opposing truck & trailer encroached over double white line; I hit guardrail on White Salmon, WA/Hood River, OR Bridge, causing significant damage along trailer's right side). My local AS dealer has provided its repair estimate, a little over $16K. Is any alternative reasonably available?

If that other dealer isn’t Airstream Adventures NW, I would try them too. If it is, then maybe check with the AS dealer in Spokane. They are nice there, though much smaller.

When you are only looking to repair a very small section, most apt metal worker could do that, but when you hit the guard rail, you need to go to Airstream Adventures NW, they are awesome and the technicians have actually been to Jackson Center and learned from the Guru. Don't shortchange yourself!
