Body shop east of downtown TO?
I had a kind gentleman in a massive Dodge Ram truck try and push me through an intersection last week. The bump stops took the vast majority of the impact although there are 2 small marks through the clear on the rear bumper itself. So will likely require replacement of the bumperettes and the underlying guards as well as a rear bumper respray. Luckily does not appear to have affected anything near the engine although a qualified shop will have to have a look
It will be covered by the other guys insurance as an at fault accident for him. I have read previous threads on some body shop recommendations which include 427 Auto and Luxury Auto Body etc. It seems all recommendations are in the west end of TO. Are there any "Porsche approved" shops in the east end or near the beaches that come recommended? A friend mentioned Michael and Michael on Eastern but I don't know anything about them
Thanks

I wouldn't worry about location these days as it is hard enough to get good honest paint and bodywork. Be sure to go Porsche certified. I hope it is as minor as you expect.

Isn't there only one "porsche certified" body shop in Toronto? I don't even think Dealer's Choice is porsche certified and they repair a lot of Downtown Porsche's cars.

You should call Mike at Dealers Choice and tell him Cameron sent you. They did an incredible job on my 991.
Otherwise 427, Pfaff or others.

A few years ago at a PCA social at The Musket the owner of 427 Collision and Jeff Pabst of Pfaff collision were the guests. They both explained the certification process.
427 does host the spring open house and frequently advertises in the club newsletter.

Since I am not on the hook for the cost I think I will go to 427. Am just waiting for the insurance appraiser to come and see me
Cheers

TD Ins tells me that Enterprise has a Porsche that I might get as the rental car but I doubt they would be too happy about me taking that to Hershey

I feel your pain as a recent rear bumper damage victim. I had Pfaff do mine, as expected it looks perfect. I had them, 427 and Dealer's Choice all quote based on the suggestions from the forum. I would've been comfortable with any of them, and they're all Porsche certified. They were all booking a month ahead in January and February.
