No fault disaster/ body shop recommendations
Discussion
Tootling home from work this afternoon, a 12 plate land Rover didn't see my shiny Guards Red Boxster S and pulled into my lane. Cue impact noise, grinding and me swearing loudly. The entire left side is now badly graunched, from front wheel arch to rear bumper! There may be some suspension damage as the wheel is scuffed.
Admiral have recommended Body Technics of Slough,supposedly Porsche approved which I need to retain the warranty.
Has anyone experience of them?
I want to weep

Our 958 Cayenne went there after a bump. I would comment, that their approach to the work is impeccable, got to see the repair mid way through so could see how meticlulous the approach was. Quality of the paint afterwards was good, but I'd factor in getting it detailed afterwards to bring it up to standard.
What wasn't so good was the amount of time it took, much, much longer than I had been led to believe. Mainly because when quoting they hadn't done a full inspection which meant having to order parts on the fly and then wait for them.
I would use them again but be more prepared for a wait, I'm talking weeks not days delay.

Yesterday I went to see my baby at BodyTechnics of Slough. As someone here said, they are quite slow to progress the work as after three weeks, panels are stripped off and replacements procured but the door sill not fully removed yet. Looks a little forlorn but i was very pleased to see that all the hidden components like the rads looked like new.
Very modern and spotless premises, much fine machinery in stages of completion, from a 964 to Ferraris, Mclarens, not forgetting a baby Skoda.
In good hands and I am sure I will be happy with the result. The estimator took me through the paint and finish process, very quality and inspection oriented. Interestingly, they take full OBD readings at three stages to make sure they don't introduce any faults.
The costs have gone up since I last had a respray in the early 90's. Then a bare metal cost about £3000, now the paint products alone are nearly that much and a full job with this lot is £8k upwards.
Another two weeks plus with the rental Astra, sad motoring indeed.
