Looking for good and reasonable body shop in Portland

[makotosun]

For those of you who read my companion post about the rainy drive behind Mt St Helens on Saturday, I was one of the folks experiencding the world in reverse.

The end result was my front drivers's side bumper and wheel were caught giving a hickey to a concrete bridge railing. Doesn't look that bad, but obviously a problem. The impact was not direct, but as car was sliding parallel to the railing, the front spun into it, dragging it along as the car slid backwards.

The bumper got pushed to the right, probably1/4-1/2 inch. Slight buckling under the black trim on top of it.

The car does not pull to either side, but the steering wheel is off about 5 degrees. The back of the trunk lid on the passenger side is touching the body, and the lid is obviously stressed when you open it. Driver's fender arch shows the stress on the fender.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a shop in the Portland area that is going to give me a good, honest assessment of what I will have to do to get this straight? Not worried about the paint at this moment, just want to get all of my body back in line and the suspension mounting back to spec so I can begin upgrading suspension and the like.

Thanks in advance. PS, if I need to go to Seattle, that is possible, but less attractive. I am about 45 minutes North of Portland.

I don't know if this will answer the reasonable part of your question, but as far as good goes, call Roth and Miller and ask for Dave. He might be the best Porsche body guy in town. Just my honest, experienced opinion.

Thanks! I am sure there are more too, must be to many busy pelicans at the moment.

Gonna go to a local shop guy I know here to put it up on a lift and really inspect things so I know what I am dealing with.

I'll ditto Roth & Miller...not from personal experience, but from the report of a very detail oriented friend who had work done there...
