Wife hit the side of the garage and no I did not take a picture, and I will not post;-(

Any way she scraped the right front fender and right bumper and side marker.
It looked minor until we get it to a high end body shop I have used many times in the past with very good results. This young Geico kid comes out and says it's $1400 for it's estimate, I laughed out loud and indicated that he may need to look up some of the Porsche parts in his little computer. Take it to the shop and we are at 5k and counting!

So here is the reason I am sharing this embarrassing turn of events. It seems the right side ac condenser was damaged and is being replaced. What do I need to know about recharging the AC? Also they pulled the battery what could happen? Radio, Codes?
Any direction or gotchas regarding the recharge of the AC?
Thanks.

PS. At least they are cleaning the rads and boy for a 07 pcar with 33k miles that stays garaged it sure was dirty!
Thanks!
