Default Collision repair in Vancouver?

My wife's Cayenne TT got T-boned last week. What are the best places to repair it? Ideally close to West Van. It's the other driver's fault, and ICBC is paying for it. What else do I need to know?

I'm new to BC and new to collisions in general, so would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

make sure you get a Porsche approved shop , that's about it really, then they will decide if its worth fixing or write it off.

Oh, it's light damage, so definitely fixing it. Just want it to be done right and reasonably soon.

I would start by going to the dealer and see who they use.

My indy recommended Integra Customs on Clark to me for some minor stuff I wanted done (painted lip, etc..). There were nice cars there when I was there and they impressed me. I was happy with their work, their detail and their price. Id give them a call to discuss. I think that they are ICBC too.

probably worth checking in with the Porsche Centre on Terminal.
i have had good luck(in the past) with both Korva and Burrard Autostrasse.

Not sure is Weissach does it in house or out-sources, but my dad has had them do some touch-up work for him on his 996 C4S and he was pretty happy with them.

My vote is for Korva, they are fairly busy but one of the best in the Vancouver.

Taking it to Burrard Autostrasse - they had the soonest availability from the recommended shops.

Good call. I just saw this thread and was going to suggest them. They've done much of the Porsche work in Vancouver for years.
