Check out the Porsche approved collision centers. They are a good starting point.

tour hanley brothers (hanleybros.com) and talk to them about the repair. they did a great job on an MB repair for me. first time EVER that i have not had to have a repair redone...no orange peel, no waves, no overspray, no rubbing compound in panel gaps. not the cheapest, but worth it.

Im also looking for a shop in HOuston. I've heard of Rapid Body Work up north near Spring. They are approved by P.

Also ive used Hanley Bro's for my Mercedes and can NOT endorse them. The paint was good however everythings sucked. The mechanicals and software work were terrible. They were trying to get on Porsche Approved list last year.

Collision Craftsman out on Brittmore. The proprietor there really geeks out on his craft. I've sent both my cars there with excellent results.

I've also Metropolitan Collision in the Heights on 19th Street. I've used them and was happy.

Collision plus and Collision plus II in Bellaire and hwy6/I-10. Driver Source and West Houston Porsche paints their cars at Collision plus II. Ask for Nick. They use OEM paint and several layers.

I used rapid body works years ago on a MB and they did fantastic work, especially on the paint and machined the wheels. I think they outsourced the wheel job, though
