Chaps,

Could use some recommendations please for a Porsche Approved accident repair shop within striking distance of Herts. Will phone OPC Hatfield tomorrow to see who they use, but your input gratefully received.

Thanks thumbup

Cheers Moosey. They're a bit further away than is ideal, but do-able if there's no-one closer.

OPC Hatfield have put me in touch with M&A Coachworks as their approved repairer. Anyone got any thoughts on them?

Porsche Approved was replaced with Porsche Recommended a while ago. There is a list on their site http://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/po...

Some body shops got culled, but still make dubious claims about being Porsche Approved.

One of the doors on my Panamera got gouged by an errant 4x4 driver and I got quotes from the OPCs in Chiswick, Reading and Hatfield. Hatfield were the most competitive and made no bones about the fact the work was done by M&A (Reading used Premier Panel and Chiswick used somewhere local to them). I dropped the car off and picked it up personally, and was very, very impressed by them. They do Rolls Royce, Land Rover and some other high end marques.

A friend of mine who is one of the fussiest people I know has also had good experiences over the years. Customer service was good too.

ETA: the work was done to my car in December 2015, so still quite recent.

Thanks for that. The car is now in with M&A.

Annoyingly the warranty renewal is due soon, and it's not yet clear whether the car will be repaired in time for the 111-point check to be carried out before the current policy expires...
