Hi guys, looking for some advice - tried Google but not finding much feedback/reviews.

Unfortunately had someone reverse into my parked car, so need to find a decent bodyshop to do so insurance work.

I've taken my car to "Porsche Shop" in Halesowen before for some service work, all was good from that point of view, but wondering what there body repair work is like. Does anyone have any experience, or could offer any alternatives?

Shorade's in Cannock is the insurance companies first choice, but I'm looking for alternative options.

Any advice massively appreciated.

not on your doorstep, but Complete Car Cosmetics in Derby are very good, but expensive.

A good friend takes all his cars to Shorade. There are plenty of good body shops out there although Shorade are Porsche approved & come with a good guarantee if I remember rightly. There will be other good ones around Telford (just into Shropshire) as well as elsewhere....I suggest you visit & see what you think, although if you are planning on visiting, try & do in the working week as not all are open on Saturdays.

I've used John at EuroEast in Burntwood for several of my cars, very good, but not particularly rapid (which is probably a good thing....) - tell him Nigel with the Fiat Coupe sent you

He rescued my Coupe after another bodyshop made a total pig's ear of removing hundreds of hailstone dents - they had just lobbed loads of filler at it, meaning the paint looked like it had been applied with a spade - took John three weeks just to get it flat again....

I have not heard anything bad about Shorade. As others have stated they are Porsche approved. If my insurance co suggested them, I would be quite happy.
