old porsche hit the nail on the head. Body shops can make more money painting Toyota's, Honda's, Ford's, than on Porsche. Get em in, get em out.
Insurance companies add to the confusion. They discount a shop's labor rate so they can "refer" customer's to the shop. Try and get your car repaired at a shop that is not on the approved list is a king size hassle and you will have to pay the difference in labor rate. One way to fight that is mention to the insurance company "diminished value" and the fight becomes a "little" easier.
The body shops can't take the time to do the job properly. Porsche were pretty much hand built and it can take a true professional to reassemble them properly. The normal customer doesn't care that there's a 1/16 cap on one side of the hood or door and 3/8's on the other side.
Shop's don't use a painter to prep the car, they use a "hey boy" as people won't pay for the job to be done properly. Ever wonder why it takes 10 days to get a repair done when there's only 10 manhours of labor on the job?
