Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Does anyone know of a great body shop in the SJ/San Mateo area?
I had a crazed bicycler kick my door last night. I was pulling into the driveway at work last night and couldn't see this guy riding his bike and wearing dark sweats (dimly lit street). I apparently cut in front of him (he had enough time/room to go around the rear of my car, so that means I wasn't that dangerously close to him, just annoyingly close). He then followed me into the parking lot and decided that he'd take it out on my driver's door. I had to chase him down and call the SJ police. I was amazed at how fast the SJ cops got to the scene (< 10 mins - thanks guys!)! If it were in SF, I would have waited at least two hours!
I totally understand how this guy felt. I've been cut off many times on my motorcycle and bike, but I've never taken it out on someone's car. He did agree that he over-reacted and that he'd pay for the damage, but now I'm stuck with an 9 month-old car with a scratched up driver's door and the high probability that the car's value will be decreased due to any repaint.
Thanks in advance!
Bodystyle in San Jose did a great job respraying the front bumper on my last Carrera. They specialize in Porsches and do a lot of restoration work. They use Galsurit paint (same as factory). Very expensive, though. Cecil Beach is the owner--[phone removed].
I feel for you. I thiink that the door can be easily be repaired and no value will be lost. Ask Akkurat in Menlo Park for a good body shop - one who constantly works on Porsches.
I've been very happy with Matthew Carlsen in Palo Alto, at Embarcadero and 101. I've never had them work on my Porsche, though, but I've had quite a bit of painting done on a BMW and an Integra.
Thanks for the suggestions! One shop said that I can get by with a paintless dent removal and letting the detailer polish out 80% of the scratches. I think I'll go that way instead of getting the door repainted. Now let's see if the guy will pay for it!
