So yesterday I discover some piece of scum has keyed two panels on my car to the metal - rear quarter panel and front door. Insurance excess and subsequent price hike means I'll be paying for the repair myself and so I'm looking for recommendations where in Aberdeen to go. The car is 10 years old so I want somewhere that will do a good paint match and would prefer if the final bill wasn't ruinous, but I look after my cars very meticulously and so I want the job to be done right. Suggestions welcomed. Thanks

Auto technic did my rs6 a few years ago , pretty good job

Kintore bodyshop did the wife's civic , was ok job

I hand my RR sport touched up by dents and scratches out by the tyre bragger , pretty good job considering it was awkward colour to match

I can't find Auto technic (quick google), do you mean this place? http://www.paint-technic.co.uk/

I had wondered about dents and scratches as it's near my work and was wondering if they were good.

Also had Auto spray in Bridge of Don recommended if anyone has any experience of them?

Auto Spray recently did the rear bumper on my Impreza after someone rear ended me at Parkhill. No complaints from me, they were quick and very easy to deal with and the work is good. It was a fairly simple job though.

I've seen a few folk have real trouble with paint technic.

Auto Spray made a good job of her mum's car after an accident.

They were very slow to deal with it though. It was just a minor bump and they ended up having the car for over two weeks.

Failed to provide the courtesy car on three promised days.

Seemed good work, but poor service.

If you want to drive out to Ellon I believe Castlepark Autobody have a good reputation.
