I have a BMW 330d from 2003. It's developed a bit of paint bubbling and rust on the top edge of the passenger side front wheel arch. So I need a body shop to carry out a repair.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a place near either Southampton or Basingstoke?

(Please don't just post google/yellow pages results as I can find these myself, I'm really after a recommendation for somewhere you've used or heard good things about.)

Many thanks!

Not sure if the location is any good for you, but there is a guy in Park Gate who does these kind of weld jobs at his home. I used him a few years back to do a bit if weld repair on a rusted sill. He was quick, nicy tidy job, and was cheap too. He was recommended to me by a local body shop, who rather surprisingly don't do welding, they get him to do it.

If the location is any good for you, I'll try and dig out his number.

My mate Clive at Central Park Bodyshop in Winchester - 07767 809758.

He is very keen on price, especially for pound notes.

Tell him Lyndsay with the Skoda sent you.

GTSDave - I would really appreciate a contact number for your Park Gate guy. I am just around the corner and in need of some chassis weld repairs.
Thanks
Chris
