Same as above, but with BMW. They looked after my M3 for a couple of years. The guys are spot on, great prices, but most importantly honest!

BM Motors

A lot of guys and girls from the BMWCC Scotland use him and i myself have been going to him for 13 years.

His prices are very reasonable and he certainly knows his stuff.

Carluke MOT Centre
Contact: Alan
Tel: 01555 751050

Have been taking my Mercs there for a few years now and Alan has sorted issues that even Mercedes direct couldn't sort, thourghly recommended.

Aidan.
Not just Merc's, Alan is a bit of a technical guru. He has helped me fix a couple of problems on 2 Porsches ( one of which I was going to scrap the engine and he brought it back ). I've seen Ferrari's in there. Very very reasonable prices too.

For all things Leather, they can repair scuffs, scratches, cigarette burns, rips and worn bolsters...they can even change the colour of the leather if you fancy a change.

Guys my old boss has expanded his business to include full body wraps for any vehicle you need, own or fancy to a very high standard indeed. He also does window tinting, Alarms (fully cat 1 accredited) and many more things (see website) or just call and ask!

I said I would drop something on here to help him out so if you give him a call say Fraser Steell posted the details on Pistonheads and he should look after you.

Guys, I'm after some help please...

1) My Reliant Scimitar, want to get the body taken off the chassis and then resprayed (glassfibre body obviously!) while I sort the chassis

2) My Rover 216 GTi race car, want to get it corner weighted and adjust the rear camber

I'm at RAF Lossiemouth near Elgin but am not scared of travelling a couple of hours, and I have a trailer. Any suggestions?

So far I have seen:

Rover - JD Motor Engineers (Insch) - recommended on here

Reliant - TJ's Paintshop (Elgin)
DRM Resprays (Elgin)
Ashgrove Motor Body Co (Elgin)

Any experience?

Hi guys,
Looking for estimate and bodywork repair on the Elise. Ideally Lanarkshire but acceptable if Glasgow area or Glasgow side of Edinburgh.

Really minor damage but there are stress cracks along the rear fibreglass clam so would prefer someone who understands fibreglass and the implications...

Cheers,
Ian

Steve Walker's bodyshop in Bathgate gets a lot of praise for his Lotus work.
The side of Edinburgh you are after too.
