So, while making a left turn at a light, some guy swerved around the car in front of him hoping to beat the (red) light and hit my dads C4S (I was NOT in the car at the time!) - mainly bumper damage - will need it replaced for sure.
Can anyone recommend body shops in Toronto / Scarborough area? We take the car to GTek - so will probably start there, but any other opinions are gladly welcomed! Will post pics when I have the stomach for it!

I am really super picky about anyone who touches my car and I would most likely go to Centre Hill Auto Body Ltd (905) 737-1449 169 Centre St E
Richmond Hill, ON , L4C1A5

I heare "Gibsons "is very good and have seen some cars .. or one car that has been there repeatedly ..and it looks awesome ..
Can't remember who fixed Ronans RS but i think it was "bestline" ..
Fortunately I have not had to use either of these and my opinions are word of mouth so if anyone else has opinions on these places please speak up ..

That sucks.
Prochilo Brothers on Midwest Rd in Scarborough does great work on high end cars - Porsche, BMW, Lexus. Frank, ask for him, is one of the head guys there and owns a 993. Phone no. is 416-755-7651. I have had work done there and been very happy.

Dr Mitch

Thanks guys! Will give some of them a call.
So, the bumper is completely toast, and the hood looks a little "off" - headlight assemblies look okay, basically took everything along the bumper, but who knows what nasty surprises may be lurching underneath... Will keep you posted and will get before / after pics...

I think "Gibson" with the great rep. retired and some other guys have the business now....

theiceman

he sold the shop to someone else so he didn't have to deal with the headaches but I heard Frank is still there. Greg would know best i think .

I've seen the job that Ray's guys did on a pair of smashed up 997's and you would have never known that these cars were ever hit.

Will be taking my 996 and RX-7 to them in the spring for some paint TLC.

Dr Mitch

So, the damage is of course, quite a bit worse than I initially anticipated:

CAUTION, not for the faint of heart...





Bumper - toast (Maybe replace it with a GT2 or GT3 version??)
Passenger headlight - sorry
Front R quarter panel - bent - MAYBE salvageable
Hood - probably okay
"Stuff" behind bumpers - will find out soon...

Zookie

OUCH!!! Well you defintaly need a new Bumper, GT3 wont work and GT2 Bumper requires Diffrent Parts in the Back to be Done Right... Get a TechArt Bumper if your Insurance is paying

Nasty!
