(Including MCL) There is one body shop that may take it in but they have a waiting list of a week or two at least. I don't want to be without for that long so I don't suppose anyone out there has any suggestions of what some good places are to get body work and etc. done? In the lower mainland/Vancouver area of course.
I'm thinking Craftsman would take anything but hmm, would those guys know what they are doing?

AutoSense Collision 604-8736866
They are a couple of blocks south of MCL and Vancouver Auto.Specialises in Porsches, Bimmers. All bodyshops that do good work are busy, but ICBC should pay for your rental car as you're not at fault. They did a beautiful job on my 911 last year.

Hmm, apparently Weissach sends their stuff to Autosense... my estimator talked to them and will be sending the shark in on Monday... of course Autosense will have to do an estimate also and I guess if there's any extra damages, ICBC told me they might need to write it off etc. 
Well, only if the estimate is like extremely high etc... I am sorta hoping they won't, but if they do, I am hoping they will give me what I deserve for it (I have tons of receipts and work done and some work still left to be done) and maybe I can get like an S4 or something to replace it

Well, got the news today Apparently a write off... the shop had too high of an estimate because they seem to have problems getting parts or the parts are too expensive... plus the labour, and checking up the additional damages... I guess ICBC and them decided it was easier this way. I guess it was for the better since a shark that's been crippled doesn't always heal 100%. Now I just hope I don't get written off by the total loss department. I have my receipts!
I'll still be browsing about here since there's a good chance my next car will be another 928 <nod> Love these things and I aint giving up that easily!
