Recommend me a bodyshop in Leeds

[Mr Overheads]

Car has been keyed (full length scratch) and need to get the areas resprayed. Can anyone recommend a suitable bodyshop. Thanks.

Not exactly Leeds, but try these guys in Brighouse: http://www.impact-bodyshop.co.uk/
I haven't needed them thankfully, but my preferred detailer Tony Spears took me over there to have a look. They have done some amazing stuff. I am paint critical, as in a past life I worked for a paint refinishing and supply company and have seen more bodyshops than I'd care to mention. The cars I inspected here were about as faultless as you can get and their "custom" work is spectacular. I did get a quote from them for a front end respray (stonechips etc) and the quote seemed reasonable.

Very sorry to hear that David

Try Spraycraft based at Tockwith, near Wetherby?

I agree that impact are very good but they are very expensive.
I've used a place a little further away in
Hudds which was very good and 1/3 of the price of impact.
I also used a place in Halifax that did a flawless job on my wife's Boxster (the job that impact were gonna do).

Thanks for all teh recommendations so far.

So where in Hudds & Halifax?

So a major city like Leeds and so far no recommendations of bodyshops in the city!

Not had any work done by them. I nearly did before going to a painless dent guy which suited my requirement better.

Andy and Paul Mudd at APM Autos (www.apmautos.co.uk) in Bradford have just restored my 911 and done a stunning job. These guys are also very reasponable price wise.

They have done loads of work for some of the local specialists and I personally know various people who have used them from a scratch to full restoration.

Used Walsh Vehical Repairs in Yeadon a couple of times and both times very happy with results. Price seemed fair, work excellent and on time, etc..

Emley Refinishers (in Emley, believe it or not....) did my Alfa Spider - seem to have done a good job, but I'm no expert. Looks good and was pretty cheap.

Another one for APM, I know of at least a couple of people who have brought cars on a 450 mile round trip to use them!! Real craftsmen...

Another vote for Emley Refinishers :-)

Christian, would you recommend them as good enough to do a front end respray and minor rear corner ding on my Testarossa?

Are you based near Harrogate?

[Basil Brush]

Al, have you tried Chris Gregory in Knaresborough?

[burriana]

No, what/where is he Marcus? And do you know his work personally.

I have been quoted about £1000 for the bumper/apron, bonnet and wings.

Now I appreciate that it is not a bog standard motor than can be done quickly and easily. It has to be done in a certain way, all taken to bits and a lot of time spent. But even so, £1000 seems a tad steep!
