Good body shop near maidenhead?

[mikees]

Hi there, over the last few months the rear quarter on my 997 has got a bit dull and a detailer/paint correction guy reckons a previous re-spray has not been done correctly so needs fixing.

I need to get the rear quarter and a blend in on the rear bumper and door. I'll prob get the wheels done and the front skirt (de stone chipped) at the same time.

Can anyone recomend a paint shop near Maidenhead?

Also, rough idea of cost? Car is a 997S in silver (polar? arctic?)

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike, I would suggest you give RSJ or 911 Virgin a call and ask them who they use for paintwork. They are both based near Maidenhead.

You could check with Tognola in Datchet. I know their service side is first rate, and they have their own bodyshop which I think is on site.

I would show it to a car detailer first, Elite Car care did a friends car and came up a treat, and Maidenhead based worth a shot

This advice is from a very good detailer!.

Tognola gets all their body shop work done by http://www.excelcarbodyrepair.co.uk/ as does Ray Northway.

They're in Reading and I've had several of my cars painted there over the last couple of years. Excellent workmanship & attention to detail. Unreservedly recommended.

ETA: too slow!

Would class myself as a good cleaner! not detailer, although I give it a go

These guys don't seem to be there any more. When you ring them they are not Excel 'but have a body shop'. Think I'll try someone else.

I've had friends use these guys on a Cayenne and were very happy.

Might be pricey though.

Thanks. Nearer to me. Someone at work had his Turbo painted in Slough and that might be the same place.

I used Bodytechnics for a tricky dent repair on my 996 Turbo S after a car park hit and run. No complaints about the work but they were *very* expensive, albeit on insurance. Plenty of exotica in at the same time, given they are approved by just about everyone from McLaren to Mazda.

Dropped in and got a quote from Bodytechnics. Looks like the sort of place to do a proper job. Mostly hoping for a good match when painted.
