German Auto Body in Santa Clara - excellent work!
I recently brought in my 996 for some body repair work (rear bumper had to be replaced). I highly recommend German Auto Body in Santa Clara, CA (close to San Jose International Airport). The owner's name is John. Their work is impeccable!

The accident actually happened on my own driveway. 
My wife was backing her 911 our of the garage and didn't notice our Cayenne S parked behind it (the Cayenne is usually parked on the other side but her parents were visiting that weekend so took the Cayenne's spot). The rear bumper of the 911 and the front bumper of the Cayenne had to be replaced. At least my S2000 escaped unscathed! Okay, maybe more information than you need.
The rear bumper was removed and luckily no damage was caused to the internals. A new, painted bumper was installed. The work was completed in ~1 day since they made sure the part was in before I dropped off the car! They also have some sort of clean bake room that allows them to avoid the typical 1 day paint drying process without concern of particles. You should talk to John if you want more details on this. The total bill was ~ $1400 but I think he might've given me a small break. I also brought my Cayenne in the next week.
German Auto Body was recommended to me a couple of years ago by one of the service managers at the Audi-Porsche dealership.
Here's their info:
354 Martin Ave
Santa Clara, CA 95050
(408)727-3368
Good luck.

Hi Ben,
Since we're local I'll check it out then... Is that the one that's run by Cecil or is that Bodystyle? Sorry to hear about your lil' mishap I need to get my GT2 bumper repainted but also have a dent removed. Let's just say it hit a bird at speed and the bird died trying to win...

what is it about porsches... they seem to attract birds! i hit a flock of black birds leaving work.. 3 or 4 bounced off the windshield.. was quite the shock.
