Body shop recommendations in East Yorkshire

[stevew321]

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a decent body shop in the East Yorkshire area? I’m looking for high quality in terms of colour and finish match and don’t mind paying a higher price to get that.

Thanks

Steve

Thirsk Bodyshop did an excellent job on my MX-5 when I lost an argument with a concrete gatepost, and are just about to repair the damage inflicted by a violent hailstorm which has dinged almost every panel.

Edit: Depends how far North you want to travel, just realised East Yorks goes a long way South!

Paintwork Express in Hull are good, Marcus who owns it is quite exacting.

Thanks for the recommendations. I have used ideal in the past and whilst I think they did a spot on job colour matching, somehow the area they repaired look more glossy. It’s an extremely minor worry but I even notice difference like this. I do know someone who can do a job that even I can’t see where the repair has been but the trouble is he’s usually very busy and there are often delays. I suppose I have been spoiled
