Is it just panel damage or was the impact severe enough to distort the unibody? I ask because the panel damage is a simple R&R task with used panels & then some prep & paint.
If the body has been distorted ,suspension parts bent - that is a totally different skill set. A few photos showing panel gaps and damage 'under the skin' would help?

AK Auto Body, in Monterey Park California. Not only is the owner Allen a P-car 996 owner, but he does great work He did some small repairs on my 996 and I could not be happier and his prices are extremely reasonable

frame alignment test jig bench will be required to properly repair your Porsche, don't consider a shop that doesn't own one.

Default Thanks!! [Re: Help Body damage repair in Orange County CA]

Really appreciate all the suggestions!

The damage is more than just panel damage. Unclear to me if there is panel distortion, unlikely that suspension is bent.
