Default North GTA Trusted bodyshops

Looking for a quick recommendation for some shops that repair and paint a sideskirt and bumper for my neighbor. Has anyone used a shop they've been happy with in the GTA? Thanks!

I haven't recommended any collision shops until now, as guys tend to jump on the bandwagon and recommend shops that sponsor Porsche events i.e. 427 Collision and other shops owned or related to PCA Members.

I recommend KKT

KKT Auto Collision
Address: 20 Heritage Rd Unit 12, Markham, ON L3P 3P3
Phone: (905) 472-1115 Ask for Jack! or leave a message.
Jack, learnt his trade in Europe, turning and shaping metal the old fashion way, his first boss was a Porsche guy. Jack is a one man operation so you know who is working on your car, he takes great pride in his work and is known for his great prep work on replacement bumpers. If you want quick and dirty don't waste your time but if you love your car and want the job done properly, then this is the place. If your bumper get hits after Jack paints it, chances are the new paint will not crack and flake like work from other shops. KKT does alot of Porsches, and other high end cars.

Fellow Rennlist Member Tricky Disco and his father goes there for repairs as well. Don't take my word for it check out what others say about KKT:

Sorry Brian, I can't recommend the quality of work at Fineline, it may have declined after your last experience, in 2012 CAA recommended them as a shop of choice but it took them a month and four tries to complete my BMW and even after they did deliver the car, the clear coat came off the hood at the first no touch car wash.

Good to know Mark, sorry to hear about it. 427 and Pfaff are an option as well. The poster didn't say what area he's in.
