HI Tech in Costa Mesa does excellent work. They're not the cheapest, but they are very good. They're behind the Ferrari dealership on Harbor and Baker.

Contact Wayne at A1 Autobody in Huntington Beach. Does alot of european cars and does work for these two shops - shoreline and wheelpwr if that matters.

Wayne is really **** too and his paint guy is wesome.

If anything, swing by and look at his work esp. fitment.

Good luck.

 

Right now my 996 is at Bells Auto (recommended by someone on here) getting repaired.
Only shop on west coast of USA that is factory authorized by Ferrari and Maserati... that is what sold me.

The shop is on the west side of John Wayne Airport... baker exit off the 55.

 

Talk to Joe, Ray or Sal at Sterling Collision Center in Tustin. They specialize in Porsche, BMW, Audi, Bently. It's fun just looking aroung thier shop. Lambos, etc.

I have been impressed with their excellent work and honest integrity. Tell them the guy with the Cobalt Blue cab sent you.

that is 4 different bodyshops, there is no "THE" shop to go to??

 

go to all 4 and compare them and report back to us

 

^^ agreed!

 

I'm happy with NA Auto in Westminster. Near my home, owner is a good friend of mine, did customized work for my 545i for certified BMW of N. America, did my 996 to perfection.

 

So how did the work at Bells Auto come out?

 

Sterling Collision Center in Tustin. Google them. Talk to Sal .

Edit: Just realized this thread is more than a year old...oops .

 

That means there might be more body shops worth mentioning. I need a front bumper, side skirts, and a spoiler painted. Where to?

 

Sal has a new shop in costa mesa top notch.

Bells Auto was great. Work was great.
A side note: That was my previous car, it had the beige (or whatever Porsche calls it) interior, and had a sunroof leak that stained the headliner. They were not happy with the car leaving with the stain and cleaned it perfectly. I never mentioned the stain... They just did it. My car was in there for rear quarter panel. so I was very happy.


Since then I have heard from a very reputable detailer (old board sponsor) that "the only company in SoCal he trusts is European Motorcars."
In Santa Ana 714-957-1290.
I haven't yet had the chance to use them, so I can't say good or bad, but they were recommended when I mentioned new bumper & skirts.
