Bodyshops Essex

[Alias218]

I didn’t get much of a response on my RR thread so I thought I’d try here.

I'm after recommendations for bodyshops in Essex that are adept in metalwork, e.g. cutting out and replacing with proper sealing and treatment.

Unfortunately, on the NSR of my 350Z where the inner and outer arch skins meet rust has taken hold and the only remedy will be new metal. This was just starting when I tackled the arches a few years back but the best I managed was to slow it down a little. It still hasn't perforated the metal so you wouldn't know it without looking closely, but this needs nipping in the bud ASAP.

I know of a couple of bodyshops around the Chelmsford area, but they seem more attuned to accident repairs than car surgery.

Any recommendations gladly received

I used Brewster Motors in Billericay to repair some rust in the inner rear arch of my RAV4. Because it was so close to the outer arch, they had to cut a hole in the outer body to do it. I think they did a good job, so worth going to see them. and they have a branch in Chelmsford.

I used Sprayshack in Braintree for repairs to an older car.
