Reputable Bodyshop Warwickshire Area?

[TROOPER88]

Hi
My brother has just called and he has a 1 year old BMW 3 series. He has scraped the passenger side door in a multi-storey car park. (sounds quite bad, defo through to metal)

Does anyone know a reputable bodyshop in the Warwickshire; he is based in Leamington Spa area?

He would require a car whilst his was being done.

I estimated he would be looking at circa £400?

Many thanks

Used to be a good one beside Silverline Wheels and Tyres in Warwick. Can't remember the name, though.

I wouldn't recommend Shires in Leamington - very disappointed with a repair on my Scooby. I had to go back twice to get basic obvious bits sorted, it was a lesson learnt in checking a vehicle thoroughly before driving away after a repair.

I can recommend CarBody and SGM Coachworks in Banbury but maybe too far for you.

You could try PL Carbodies in Montague Road in Warwick. They do work for Rybrook. They may be expensive but the guys there (Martin) are helpful and friendly.

My only personal experience is when my car was damaged in May this year. The car was taken there and they assessed it and quoted for the repairs. It was subsequently written off so it was not actually repaired by them. Friendly people and an impressive facility, but they have a reputation for being expensive.

They wanted to re-shell my car, whereas some other people who looked at it thought it could be repaired with a new side. (Not something I would have been happy with).

PL Carbodies are good, but expensive. Have used them twice for stonechip repairs and always been impressed. Not sure that the guys next to Silverline in Warwick still exist. I think that the guy who used to be there, Dave Beard, has a new place in Kenilworth called Kenilworth autobodies. He's done motorbike wheels for me in the past and has always done a top job.

There's another place in Kenilworth who has a good reputation too. Think it's call Glossy Car Coats. Have seen work he's done on a BMW before and colour match etc was spot on.

Hi
Thank you to all who have contributed so far.

I have given my brother the link to this thread so he can choose a couple places to get a quote.

Cheers
