Does anyone know of a really good bodyshop that can deal with S2000's in SW London or Surrey? Some utter t****r has reverse a truck over the front of my car whilst it was parked.
Thames Ditton Honda have quoted £1000 to repair it, but I'm not that keen on wrecking my no claims bonus (beside there is a £350 excess to pay)

They've always been fabulously cheap for servicing, but I wondered if the bodyshop was outsourced as they don't have one on site and if I could get the work done cheaper (and just as well) elsewhere

Thanks

Thanks guys, fortunately Honda have confirmed there is nothing damaged other than the bodywork, so should be able to drive to get it fixed, I'll have a owrd with the people you recommended.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, it's not quite enough of a mess to actually make the claim - so annoying.

And you are also right, the driver didn't think to leave a note strangely!

mine was hit 10 days ago by an immigrant in a clapped out nissan micra (not that it makes a difference who hit it but not sure if they're insured yet and still pissed )I've got it in a bodyshop near kingston at the mo, should get it back tomorrow - well priced but will post back once i've seen the quality of the work (with their details if they're any good) being insurance approved as they are,it could be luck of the draw...they seem to know what they're talking aboutand have done several s2k's
Thanks Adam, would be keen to know what they are like as I've got to drive down to Fleet otherwise on Saturday which is a bit of a chore

Well, I got the quote through the post this morning and they are almost exactly the same as Honda - so no point going to them really, and either shows that honda are very competitive with their pricing, or they outsource it all to those guys!!
Either way I'll just go and get it done at Thames Ditton Honda, as I know they'll do a top job
