Body repair and paint shop in West Kent

[smashie]

I need to get a dent sorted in my Sorento. It will also need paint. Does anyone have any recommendations for a bodyshop in West Kent? I am in Tonbridge.
Also at some point I want to get a bonnet respray on my BMW as I noticed a load of stone chips whilst washing off the bird muck and having spent a fortune putting a new block in it, I may as well make it look as good as I can as the car is going to be a keeper. So any recommendations for a decent paint shop?

The Kia is a lease so needs to be good enough not to be noticed at all at hand back time. The BMW is mine so needs to be good.
I could take the Kia to the brother in law when I next go to Cornwall and get him to fix it, but I would prefer to take the BMW down there as it is a far more comfortable drive.

A friend of mine runs Edenbridge Accident Repair centre, which is a family owned business: http://www.accidentrepair.com/

Some nice fella decided to key the bonnet on my Elise which they sorted easily. They've also resprayed a bike for another friend, and again a stunning job. Would recommend them definitely!

Hillarys in Tunbridge Wells are very good, quoted me a quarter of what BMW wanted to repair my Alpina Roadster.
They repaired and painted an Aston DB6 Volante a while ago, it looked stunning.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will get onto them soon. Got a few other bits to sort on the BMW first such as coolant loss and air con not fully working. Need to top up the funds before getting bodywork done as the Dog has cost me over £1200 in the last 6 weeks.

Not his son. Luke Modell used to work with him and took over the business when Gary sold up moved on. Must be around 3 years ago now.

I know one company or garage whatever you may like to call them, They have a good sprayshop 101 and they also do complete body rebuild or engine rebnuild. They are Good at their Job, But mostly do Mazda Rx8 Services. You may check their website and ask them through their contact us page.
