Hi,

Wondering if anyone here can recommend a bodyshop based on personal experiences. Looking to get some repairs done on a Honda, front wing and bumper. Although I'm claiming off the insurance company, the quotes I've had so far still seem steep. I looking for recommendations around Suffolk, though will travel partway into neighbouring counties. Cheers!

Hi - thanks for the reply. Did a quick search on Google, but couldn't find anything about them. Don't suppose you have their contact details? Cheers

If you're claiming on insurance why does price bother you? You'll still get premium clobbered regardless of how much you save Direct Line or whoever....

Body Centre, Norwich is good from personal experience.
(Well its closeish)

Reason I'm taking cost into consideration is because I'm not claming on normal road insurance - claiming on trackday insurance, so only got so much cover.

Went to Chaplanes this week - seem to be the most helpful and enthusiastic, and spent longer than anyone else actually checking the damage. Looks like they'll get the business - thanks for the replies !
