Hi

I'm due to purchase a '10 plate Clio 200 in need of some work, namely a full respray of a rear bumper where a previously badly done repair has now resulted in the paint becoming cracked and nasty looking, as well as a more minor graze to the front n/s wing and bumper too.

There's a ChipsAway based next door to where the car's being purchased from and they've quoted £350 for the rear bumper and £150 for the front bumper, and the same for the wing, so £650 in total.

The quote isn't for a smart repair and the unit has a proper spray booth. The repair to the rear bumper was a little more than I expected - I thought somewhere in the region of £250 max would cover it - and the work can't be carried out until the end of the month due to demand, so perhaps they're deliberately pricing high ease the workload.

Anyhow, I live close to J16 M6 and looking for some recommendations for a bodyshop within 45 minutes who'll do a decent job. I don't want somebody who does mobile repair. I know it's a 7 year old car but I'm fussy about it looking right!

Any recommendations gratefully received.

You've got Peter Adderley's round the back of the Vauxhall dealer off Macon Way in Crewe, there's a painter there named Kev... he's very good

Also KC Autos in Winsford, if you use them I'd only recommend you request the paintwork is done by Ade Culley

Also Shaun Walley at Gorstey Hill garage out past Wychwood Park
His paintwork is good

Thanks for that.

The one in Crewe seems to get a good write up so will give them a go.
