Default Good paint shop in San Diego?

Bad news...

As I was pulling into my driveway some little girl jumps into the middle of the street and I swirved and wound up brushing against a bush. Unfortunately, it scratches the side of my car from the headlights to the driver's door.

My own assessment is that it will probably need a respray but I need to take it to an expert.

Anyone strongly recommended in San Diego?

Thank you.

Amato's in Sorrento Valley, or West Coast Specialties. I've used both. West Coast is mostly P cars, Amato's is all high end. I prefer Amato's still

Call around to various Porsche dealers in your area and find out if there's a common body/paint shop used. It should be a Porsche approved collision repair shop and should have the certificate.

Among other things this shop will use one or more of the approved Porsche paints and paint systems: Standox, Glasurit, or Spies-Hecker; and the paint work, if necessary, will be of high quality and indistinquishable from the factory paint.

Sincerely,

Macster.
