Hi everyone.

My Porsche Boxster was damaged at the weekend when a car trailer was scraped into the area behind the rear wheel arch. The damage isn't massive; one dent about the size of a 5p piece, and a scrape. Luckily or not so luckily, it was my girlfriend's parents who hit the car, and they're keen to get it sorted out.

I'm based in Culdrose (Lizard area of Cornwall) and would like to get the car repaired asap, hopefully somewhere fairly local.

Does anyone know or can recommend somewhere to get the car repaired? I'm not sure one of the Smart Repair mobile companies could do it, as the scrape might need quite a bit of paint?

Open to any suggestions! Cheers

Stubby Pete

Keith Richards in Pensilva (nr Liskeard) is the only guy I know in Cornwall. Good and cheap but quite far from you!!

If you were looking to do it for cash, I would use a specialist like Fairweather Auto Shine, very good company and they do all AM's work and others from Marsh Barton Exeter. Porsche have their own body shop here on Mash Barton, but I would hate to think what they would charge. As for "smart" repairs, ok on your run about, but not on your p&j, imho.
