Hi Guys.

Long time lurker, but first time poster!

Anyway. I have managed to get a wee bit of damage on my Alfa and need it sorted to a high standard. An anyone reccomend a really good bodysop. I'm based in Cumbenauld, but willing to go a few extra miles for an excellent job.



Cheers

Ricky

give David Lang a call 07939631191 based in uddingston near Birkenshaw estate. premises are crap and not inspiring at all, but knows what he is doing and does work to a high standard if you want to pay for it. If you want a cheap job he can do that to. However he knows what he is about. Doing my countach just now. Be warned the premises are awful!!! It's how they do the job that matters not what they have equipment wise!
He does most of the bike paint repairs forthe Ducatti etc guys
Mention my name

Yup, used them twice now, once for a repair as Sherman said and second time to replace faulty clear coat on a door. On both occasions the job was done promptly and expertly. A bit of a trek for you but if you are interested in using them I can send you phot's of the work.

I'd suggest Stevie Walker's Bodyshop in Bathgate - 01506 633471.

You see so many Silver cars out & about that have obviously had a panel sprayed, Stevie will do a good job.

Cheers Guys

Loads of choices there. Today I went along to Autokraft as it's just along the road. Seems OK, but I will check out a few more before I choose.
I always think it is easier to get mechanical work done than bodywork. You hear so many horror stories about this kind of work as well. It's great to get pointers.
Thanks for the quick replies.
