Hi All,

A friend of mine has just had his 2014 Audi S5 keyed outside his house by some scumbag, they've done the rear offside panel along with all the other cars on the street rolleyes

He's looking for recommendations for smart repair and/or bodyshop depending on how bad it is (I've yet to see a picture).

Can anyone vouch for someone they'd recommend to carry out the work? Car is black, if that makes any difference.

Cheers

Iain

Personally, I would not opt for a smart repair unless a detailer is able to polish the scratch out to the owners satisfaction.

If the scratch is through to the primer/metal (this happened to me), a bodyshop was the only option that would give the finish I wanted. Depending on the colour, a paintshop may need to blend into the door to provide a perfect match.

When I made enquiries to have the scratch on my car rectified, the quote from the bodyshop was only marginally more than the Smart repair.

I use Lee Cox at Station Road Bodyshop in Kippax 0113 2875010 . Very good quality at a reasonable price.
