I'm sure that this has been done to death, but does anyone know of somewhere in Verwood, Ringwood, Ferndown that I can get a reasonable job done. And of course not pay the Earth! I'm not after concourse results as it is for a daily driver rather than a show car.

I'm looking for somewhere that will be easy for me to get to and from by bus when the car is dropped off.

TIA....

Good lord, do people still use these things? yikes

Another one for Alloy Magic, they did our 200sx and they were perfect, although not cheap!

Yeah i stopped using them when I realised that the only reason they have big windows is so that everyone can see who is on there and laugh at their unfortunate predicament whilst pointing.

Oh how we poor people suffer... wink

I've found somewhere in Verwood, so I can (and this is may be even worse than taking a bus) walk home.

They're called something like Dorset Body Repairs, just in Black Moor Road on The Ebblake Estate. One of the carers at my Mums previous nursing home is the wife of the guy that runs it and mentioned it months ago so I popped in to have a chat.

Proof will be in the pudding of the quality of their work, so I'll keep you posted. Local + good price + good quality would be a nice find!

At least in Ringwood you have a half decent pub, and a bus service that can get you in and out of Bournemouth after 7pm!

Yep, it's Dorset. Only just though as you drive past the Dorset sign just before you enter the town.

Leesa, 'The Wheel Specialist' in Fareham are marvellous, they did my Porsche split rims, or is that too far for you to travel?

I believe it was Lee who was after advice not Leesa, unless they are one and the same.

Must visit Verwood more often...

'The Wheel Specialist' now has a display stand booked for all the Goodwood Breakfast meets so you can see them there and have a natter.
