Very sorry that it happened to you.

I'm going to disagree with several posters and say that the quality of a body shop and the results you get are unrelated to whether they're Porsche certified or not, and so if I were you I'd spend time on checking out what cars they've worked on, reading and following up on reviews (especially the negative ones) etc.

Here in Houston there are literally dozens of high quality body shops and about 3-4 that are Porsche certified. Personally I might seek to go to one of those for something that might appear to have a lot of hidden damage or possibly structural issues. For a fender bender such as this one, I would probably go to the same family owned and definitely not certified body shop I've used for ~20 years with good success on a few cars.

Good luck with your choice and hope your car comes out looking as good as new!

Fairly simple fix in that location. The only headache you may have is when it comes to making sure the paint matches.
