Bodyshop

[baz86]

Some inconsiderate tt chipped my rear ¼ with a door. I’ve not talked to anyone about it so I don’t know if a ‘smart’ repair would be suitable, so I’d rather talk to a body shop first. After a search on PH panel-wise Addlestone is local and seems recommended.

Problem is the phone number listed doesn’t work. Are they still in business?

Or any other smart repairer/body shop in Surrey that would be recommended?

I know this chipex stuff seems to be getting rave reviews. However I’m not sure it will cut the mustard on this one, as the chip is in quite a conspicuous area.

Cheers

Take it to Sl restorations in crawley

I don't think they are, was looking for their number / website recently to get the pain bubbling fixed. Been meaning to drive past to see if they are still there. Best to phone Trinity and ask them who they would recommend.

Sorry I should have been more specific in the area. I’m in Staines. Crawley is a bit far, I would hope there is something more local.

I drove past panelwise at the weekend, they were shut on Saturday. However, it didn’t look deserted. Might take a drive by at lunch.

Also had a look for Trinity but couldn’t see a sign for it at the end of the lane. I assume it’s in behind the silos and white buildings by the horsy stuff?

I hope Panel Wise are still there - they do top work

Used to have a website, but that doesn't exist anymore.

Meant to say, not long after I pulled out of Redhill Rd. I passed a DB5/6 (Sorry I not that acquainted with the details)

A trip out and Panelwise showed are closed for business. The Merc specialist next door confirmed this. They told me they use LA coachworks round the corner.

I assumed Trinity were only mechanical. However they do paintwork as well. It was a bit far for me on my lunch hour. I’ll get them to have a look another day.

Blimey. Last time I was there they were working on a DB7 Zagato. Not used LA Coachworks, but looked like a generalist body repairer used by insurance companies - i.e. high turnover.
Will have to go to Trinity to look at the paint bubbling
