Body Shop in or near Cambridge

[Schnellmann]

A cyclist rode into my wife's car today. Has admitted liability but is an unemployed student so not confident I am going to be able to get him to pay.

I will take the car to BMW for a quote but can anyone recommend a good (and good value) body/paint shop in the area?

how old is the car mate, and how keen are you to not claim on your insurance.....

I know a really good paintless dent removal guy if that will suffice..... for bodyshops these three are tops:

densely Charles off ditton way are very good, they once panel beat the skin of my door out when most others wanted to change the door!! http://www.densleycharles.co.uk/

barr tech also did a full body respray of my alpina following an act of vandalism

and finally, chipsaway express bodyshop off kings hedges road if its minor

Thanks for the tips. I will try to get some quotes tomorrow.

Car is just a year old. Problem with going through the insurance is £650 excess so unless I can get cyclist to cough up then I will probably bear the cost myself. Also, although I have protection of my NCB I worry that a new insurer would take it into account if we want to move (although I'm not sure how it works in the UK).

I used barTech once to do some minor work on my porsche and they were very professional and reasonably priced

I used Chipsaway Express. They were about a third of the price quoted by BMW. Looks good as new so I think they have done a good job. Thanks for the recommendation.

Finishline in Gravely, near Stevenage. My car is going in there soon based on recommendations I read on here.

Edit: whoops missed that you'd already had it done!
