Front Bumper Respray - South East

[chrisr763]

I am looking for a reputable body shop to get my front bumper re-sprayed. I have had a quote from VW at £222. inc vat. And a quote from (What looked good from the outside, but after speaking to the staff, wouldnt go back again) quoted me £250 + vat.

Now i know both of these are high, but having had work done at my VW garage before I know it will be 1000%.

Does anyone know of any cheaper garages that are worth going to? I am also in need of a small repair to the paint on my rear bumper 

Thanks

Chris

Where abouts in the south east are you I know of a garage where I had some work done and they were excellent?

GU46 area! Forgot to mention... *Bangs head*

Ah the garage I used is in Haywards Heath so might be a little to far for you to travel then

[chrisr763]

What was it anyway? Could be good to use a quote from them as a reference, could also help others in the future? :)

Its called prestige panel care, they are based in scaynes hill RH16.

The owner is trevor wilson who is a mini enthusiast and owns minikraft I believe. They were really helpful and did a perfect job when I had some rectification work done on my Leon Cupra R a few years ago.

They are a smaller repairer, however I've found that its these garages that do a better job as they rely on word of mouth.

Good luck

I've seen some shoddy work come from dealers in the past. Only person I trust to do any bodywork on mine is my dad. He works in a bodyshop and has done for years and years.

Had my wing and bonnet done at my dealer - Baisingstoke. I wouldnt accept it if it was dodgey.... Top notch work there

I had a chap colour code my Octavia front grille surround before I had even bought the car on the recommendation of the Skoda garage I was buying it from.

He couldn't guarantee the work from stone chips due to the placement but coming up nearly 2 years the finish is as good as when I picked it up. He also did vRS_Carls grille surround.

He is next to the level crossing in Ash which should be close enough.

Any idea what the place is called?

This is the chap. http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/a-j-t-smart-repairs-aldershot

That looks like his home address not the unit address.

He was called Adam.

The number doesnt work, and its the same number listed on all the same similar websites.
