Crash repair reccos in Foxboro/Boston MA area
I put the back end of my Porsche 911 ('92 C2) into the guard rail at NHMS yesterday. I would like a recommendation for a good crash repair shop in the Foxboro MA area. It's my 3-season driver, and time trial it 3-5 times a year, so I'm not looking for a museum-grade restoration. I'm looking for a solid, independent shop to do a good job for a fair price.
I attached a picture. As you can see in addition to the exhaust, quarters and bumper, the rear monocoque needs to get straightened out a bit.

Ultra Shine Collision in Marlboro.
Same industrial park as Apex Automotive Engineering.
Ultra-Shine does amazing work. Great people. I've dealt with many repair shops in the Greater Boston area over the years (to service company vehicles). Ultra-Shine is the best, by far.
On-site rental/loaners if you need one.

I went to Sansossio a few years back after reading their ad in the BMW newsletter (they advertised in every issue).
I was very disappointed with my experience. I wouldn't waste a second on those self-important BMW fanbois.

Thanks for the tips. I have had specific recommendations for Barry's Auto Body in Natick. Does anyone have experience with Barry?

Like ever body shop, I've heard mixed reviews on Sansossio's. I will say that I have heard more good reviews then bad from them. Phil senior seems like a good guy and knows his stuff. I would advise talking with him directly if you go that route.

Thanks for the tips. Yesterday I spoke with Filipio at Sansossio's and his son Bill. They said they sub out any serious Porsche work to Barry's Auto Body right across the street. Barry seems very good - especially with Porsches - and is my default choice.

I know of Barry's shop. He is a specialist. I've seen some of the work, and have met Barry. That should be a good bet.

Tell David you want it to look like this when he's done.
I remember at one of my first COM events someone showed up in one of these. I thought it was really amazing and gorgeous. Probably a year or so after I saw the movie Lemans with Steve McQueen. I had no idea how f*** rare they were. To think someone time trialed one with COM...
