Body shop in tri-state area?

[stephen wilson]

Some idiot backed into my Boxster in the parking lot at work, any recommendations on body shops in the NJ/DE/PA area?

The worst part is, she hid the incident. I had to play CSI for 2 days to find out who did it, and confront her. At least she admitted it, but I don't know why she wasn't up-front in the first place. It was a company car, so she won't even have to pay for increased insurance rates or a deductable!?! It would have cost me my $500 ded. if I couldn't identify the other car. Our company HR person was furious with her!

I did search, and saw a shop in West Chester mentioned, so that is one option. I also plan on asking area dealers.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm curious, how did you track her down and prove it? I would loved to have seen her face when you found her.

This place always has hi end cars in their shop. Many Ferrari, BMW, Porsche (including mine), Benz, etc have been fixed here. I've used them 2x and they are awesome.

I was actually kind of proud of myself for finding her! The security camera had gotten moved ( unrelated ) so I was just out-of-frame on 2 cameras. So I went thru the parking lot with a tape measure, looking for damage at the same height as where my car had been hit. It's surprising how many SUV's have scratched bumpers!! I only found one fairly good match, though there was very little damage to her SUV. Knowing what car to look for, I reviewed the camera footage. Her trajectory backing out looked to be right where my car had been. As confirmation, the next day she parked at the other end of the lot, instead of in her
normal spot. I didn't have a smoking gun, but I did my best Law & Order bluff, acting as if she had been shown on camera. Her reply: " Yeah, I did feel a little bump. Oh, was there damage?" Uuugh! In the camera footage, she hadn't even hesitated while pulling away.

Thanks for the recommendation, keep 'em coming.

I also used Cavallo when I hit a deer with my 3 series. Excellent work and very professional.

You are just one of many of her bump n' run. And she knew she hit, that's when she went forward. I am 65, we bump somebody, we get out and look, no damage no harm. If we have damage we leave our name and number. Old school, be responsible.
