Body Shop Recommendation Kent

[lemonslap]

Some Christmas spirited fellow scraped the side of my wife's S4 yesterday whilst it was parked up and didn't leave any details.

Having had two bad experiences with work completed by body shops before, do you guys have any recommendations?

Many thanks

if you'd consider heading across to sussex I'd highly recommend www.sprcoachworks.co.uk doubt you'll get a better job anywhere

or Legend vehicle Services in Northfleet, just off the A2 near Gravesend - I'm very particular about my bodywork and would only use these, the owner is ex Aston Martin painter. They do repairs, restorations etc.

Just off the A20 (Critalls Corner)
Sidcup, Kent

Went there after some twunt caved in my OSR quarter panel.
They repaired the damage without having to replace the panel (which would of meant pretty much the whole side of the car).
Apparently no filler used, just pulling the panel (I'm sceptical), but you could't tell the car had been in an accident afterwards. Even cleaned and polished the whole car for me.

Friendly, courteous and professional treatment as well. Was a bit dubious about going to somewhere other than Toyota, but I am more than pleased with the results.

Thanks all, will get some quotes from the recommended places. The above ^^^ ouch!! Mine is nowhere near that bad!

A second vote for legend Martin who owns it really knows his stuff & he is the only one I trust to do paint on my cars

So as not to start a new thread can anybody recommend a decent smart repair type outfit in Maidstone? Got bumped by an Astra coming off Running Horse roundabout and have suggested avoiding going through the blokes insurance if he foots the bill for repairs. Just paint damage and only the rear bumper luckily.

It's a quick run through the tunnel to Essex, but these guys are brilliant - www.pristinebodyworks.co.uk

Depending on where you are in Kent, I'd reccomed these two as they've done great jobs in the past:

Motor Care in Tonbridge - Manage to pull out and respray a dent/chip to the paint on the bonnet of the Boxster. Can't tell there was any damage in the first place after the repair. They repair some very high end cars so we had no reason to worry about the quality of their workmanship.

SW Automotive in Biggin Hill - Again, managed to pull apart, repair, and put back together the rear bumper of my car after some delightful absent minded individual hit it when parked. Did so at a very reasonable rate in a short turnaround time.

Auto tech in stone/dartford were excellent for the money for jobs I needed doing when I worked in the trade
