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?

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 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.
