Some (insert approporiate word here) keyed my wifes brand new Jazz down at Brighton marina car park on Monday - both passenger doors and the drivers door. The car park say nothing on their cctv and no other incidents reported either.

As the car is only 2 months old and some of the scratching is quite deep we'd like to get it repaired. I took it to the local dealer today and the bodyshop they use estimated it would be £975 for the respray - it's a light metallic blue and in essence 3 of the doors would need to be resprayed and blended in. Does this sound like the right price as this would mean going via the insurance to fix it. The other option is to get one of the scratch repair companies to do it but I'd heard that they can not always get the colour to exactly match.

Any thoughts or recomdations much appreciated, I'm in the Dorking-Redhill-Caterham area.

Cheers

I can recommend these guys; they did a cracking job on my previous M5 and current RS6 (workshop near Staines/Egham just off the M25):
