Good body shop in Southampton area.
Discussion
I'm after a decent body shop in the Southampton area to sort some repairs out on a Golf GTi Mk11. The rot has been at it around the "spare" wiper mount at the base of the screen and around the fuel filler, both common problems I think on this model. Is there anybody around here that does that type of thing?
Try Jarvis in Beovis Valley.
A few years ago I had to get a new tailgate fitted to the wifes car after a botched insurance job. Jarvis were the only garage to spot that the paint would not properly match as one side of the car had already been re-sprayed.
They then mixed up two lots of paint, one to match each side of the car and graduated the change across the tailgate.
Ian Jarvis is a top bloke, Jarvis's are an honest garage with good specialist bodyshop facilities.
Steer clear of BP Rolls in first avenue. They are the muppets that botched the insurance repair.

I have no idea why insurance companies continue to use these cowboys. Some sort of scam going on? They're certainly far from acceptable.fastcars_hardy said:

Having worked for body shops in Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester, i'd definately take my car to ERB Motors in Portsmouth.
It's a small/medium family run business, not a 'supermarket' style repair centre.
It's the choice of bodyshop for most of the south coast's insurance engineers if they have something nice the don't want the approved repairer to fk up!
