If it was me, I would only go to a Porsche Approved body shop:

One of the approved Porsche collision repair centers is a Herb Chambers facility.

I dis-recommend Mike’s Autobody in Malden. I had a 928 restoration project repainted there about 18 months ago. I was very non-plused with the outcome and they caused me to have to do a lot of rework. It should be noted that the current “Mike” is not the same “Mike” that started the business decades ago. The original Mike now has a shop in NH.

Not even remotely close to Boston but Automobile Associates in Canton CT is worth the drive.

You guys know that it isn’t the “original” Mike anymore. Right?

In the interim between my 2018 post and now, I had Hollis Auto Body (https://hollisautobody.com/expertise/) do some work for me on two Porsches.

100% satisfied with their work.
