Does anyone have any recommendations for a body shop in the south Florida area?

I was sitting in the parking lot putting an address in the navigation system when someone backed out of a space right into me pretty hard. Obviously I'm pretty upset since I've taken such good care of the car and am always very careful.

I think the guy just put his car in reverse and mashed the throttle because I don't know how else he'd hit a stationary car behind him that hard when his car has a backup camera and all kinds of sensors.

I would stick to a Porsche Certified Body Shop.

An alternative to Stuttgart would be European Collision Center in South Miami. I have taken my wife's BMW 320i for minor repair in the rear fender and I was very impressed at their work and customer service. I definitely would use them again. They do all the work for The Collection if that says something.

What county you live?

I'm in Coral Gables, not far from the collection.

Have you heard anything about Countach?

I'm concerned if I head all the way to Fort Lauderdale or somewhere far away that if something goes wrong it will be tough to take it back.

As far as I can tell there is no mechanical damage

I would take it to European. They do Ferraris, Lambos and mostly high end cars.

Was European Collision Center recommended by your insurance company?

I don't see any reviews on yelp or anywhere other than their facebook page, which makes me a little nervous.


I worked very hard for this car and configured it online just the way I wanted and want it repaired right.

who did you end up using? any feedback?

I went with European Collision Center and they were great. You could tell they took a lot or pride in their work.

I am glad you've had a great experience like me!

I used a shop called JS Benz. While they do mostly Mercedes work, they knew the car inside out. They had a few P cars on the lift, but of all the body shops I met with, these guys knew all the Porsche nuances. The lucky thing was it was only the bumper and not even the heat shield was affected.

​​​​​​Changed engine mounts, because well we were in there, and I have to say car feels so much more responsive.

Service was great, and they communication top notch.
