My TT got rear ended a few days ago, and there's just a couple small gouges on the rear panel, low, near the exhaust pipe. The offending driver's paying for it, but I'm gonna need to get him an estimate first.

My dealer, Pass & Weisz, outsources all their body shop work, which means it takes at least 3 days, if they have the parts in stock, and there won't be an estimate phase at all.

Does anyone know a decent body shop in Boston that I can just pop in and out off for an estimate and then again to get the work done when the parts come in?

Thanks,
Ronak

781-599-0080- They do excellent work. My TT was a hit and run victim- it looks beautiful now.

...I backed into my garage door back in October. Three small scratches which matched the hinge protrusions.

Yeah, I thought the garage door was open, but I digress...

Luther Bodyworks in Bedford did a great job for me. $375. The entire panel comes off and gets repainted and baked. Looks better than new... Ask for Ken, tell him Popolo sent you.

He said a new panel was about $1200...

Only downside is that during the power wash the paint on my LLTek tail masks started flaking off. Those masks are the worst in terms of paint. It's a hard plastic, no primer. So they're off until the spring when I can get around to repainting them correctly.

Actually, that's not the only downside. The worst of all this is that my wife was standing there when I backed into the door and saw the whole thing. Made it difficult to propagate the 'insane garage door defense'. I still live with it, each and every painful day.

A very particular car-buff friend of mine recommends the following shop highly:
The name of the shop is Repairs Unlimited.
The person to speak with there is J.R. Force.
The shop is in Georgetown MA.

It's about 30 mins up Rte. 1, to 95, to 133,
then to a small road in Georgetown.

Tell them Steve Jackson recommended them.

How about a good body shop in NYC?

Sorry, no, but have you been happy with Pass Weisz service?

because they don't up your premium or give you any points in mass for those types of accidents... it happened to me twice when i was driving my old '90 jetta with bad brakes... no insurance hit... tell him to ask his insurance agent... they will tell him... saves him some cash and you get paid either way...

By far the best body work I've ever seen came from Dick's Auto Body on Elmwood St. in Somerville. Last time I was there they had several Boxsters, a Dino and an S8 there.

Besides doing fantastic work, they actually care about customer satisifaction. This is rare in this day and age. The only bad thing I can say about them is that they are often busy and it takes a while to get a repair slot.

Frank is the guy to talk to, Richard is the owner. Richard brings his 911 to the NE Region Porsche Concours every year.
