    A few years ago I hit a dear with my 328. Came here and you guys steered me to a body shop in Atlanta (north east side?). Trailered it down...and it was fixed....primo! His shop isn't "big money"....it was a very small shop...dirty....so was he...but salt of the earth and he fixed that car like no body's business.


    I"ve hit another deer with my 1994 964 Factory wide-body Porsche. these cars aren't fallin' off trees and have gone up. I'm unimpressed with the body shops here in Knoxville, TN.


    Anyone know where to go for the best of the best? the guy in Atlanta was one such guy but I've lost his name and number. Anyone who repairs exotics with a good reputation would work. Trailer this beotch I guess.

    Thanks guys....

    Magnum Collusion did my 328 after a front end wreck a few years ago. They were recommended by Ferrari of Atlanta at the time and did a great job with body and paint.

    They took their time and did it right.

    I completely agree, Magnum Collision is the way to go with exotics.

    I bet you are talking about Bo Pirkle 770-939-6982 2241 4th Street , Tucker Ga. 30084

    i went to visit his shop last year. Salt of the earth - sounds about right to me. :)

    Ciao,

    I have heard great things about Magnum.

    Bo can be quite hard to get in touch with these days.... I had a friend who had an incident with his 308 a couple years back and could not manage to nail him down after MONTHS of trying. He has a great reputation and I'm sure he does excellent work, but I would choose magnum simply because of the convenience of dealing with them.

    Magnum did a great job on the front bumper of my 360. It had a bunch of rock chips on it so I had them paint it, and also touch up any other rock chips.

    I've used Bo and Magnum. Magnum here just recently on a set of 512BB wheels. The work was very good and they return your phone calls. Drew

    Bo Pirkle is not taking any work outside of his "one client" to my knowledge...and the man who was Pirkle's top metal guy (aside from Bo himself) is now at Magnum.
