Hi,

I'm new here. I am looking for some recomendations to have some work done on my Volvo 240 which I have owned for 10 years:

I have been looking around and keep finding this place:

But can't find any recommendations for them. I live in Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, BTW.

Thanks for any help

Thanks, I know Panel Craft and have been there mainly because they hav e Aylesbury's best alignment system.

My problem is that I see Panel Craft more as an accident repairer than a restorer. It's very important to me that the work gets done to last.

I will go down an speak to them this weekend.

I use classic and custom works for work on a few of my cars and am planning on using them again soon. Good quality work for a reasonable price. It's a small outfit that deals in restorations and hot rods etc, no insurance work so their standards have to be high to keep going.

Good luck with getting the work done wherever you choose to take it.

Hi,

Thanks for the recommendations. I went to see Classic and Custom today, and got a surprisingly cheap quote of 1200. Always worries me a little bit - don't want cheap work - but the place looked ok, so I've booked it in for the beginning of June.
