Scratch/dent repair - Reading area. Super urgent!

[NorthernSky]

Hi all,

In dire straits so please help me out here!

Over the weekend I was helping a friend move her things from one flat to her new place. I hired a 16 plate merc (after the hire company did the upsell speak to me... I know). Some scrote has crashed or tipped his bike/scooter into the rear right panel, causing a dent approx. 1 inch deep and a noticeable scratch about 30cm down the side of the car - I didn't witness any of it, just came back to find the damage.

Can anyone recommend a bodyshop or mobile bodywork specialist that can sort this out for me either in Reading or around West London area, ideally Hampton, that will do a great job and not exploit me. Karma has been a b!tch to me as I was only there to help my friend free of charge! :/

I have the car for Monday only and need to get this done ASAP - cannot wait to Tuesday. Hope someone may be able to point me in the right direction...

TIA to anyone with information or advice!
Tom

I think you are better off paying the excess rather than getting a repair done by someone you don't know on a car you don't own.
