Aberdeenshire bodyshop?

[Ritchie335is]

Apologies for another best bodyshop request.
I had a minor off with my Mustang and I’m looking for the latest recommendations.
I was thinking about Kinghorn in Blackburn but I’ve not heard any reports lately.
I’m a fussy git and it’s going through the insurance so I’m looking for the best.
Any info would be great, thanks.

Thanks far all the suggestions gents. It's very hard to find somebody good if you are looking for a job that's above the "close enough" standard.
I was very badly bitten by a full respay on an M5 a few years ago which cost a fortune and was carried out by a place with a good reputation but ended up looking worse than when it went in with rust appearing all over the place a couple of months later, where it wasn't even before!
It's looking like I will go with Kinghorn, hopefully the insurance will accept them.
Thanks again.

Your insurance has to accept them, it's your car. I'd the same when my Cayenne got vandalised, the insurance wanted to put it to their approved repairer. I just said it was going to Kinghorn as it was still in warranty and if they didn't want to pay to repair cars properly using the marque approved repairer then they shouldn't take my money.
They didn't argue, just said they couldn't guarantee the repair or some other bks.

That's good to know, it's still under warranty too. Cheers.

The car was picked up yesterday by Kinghorn.
The old diddery guy driving it about shat his pants when he fired it up, it is a bit loud when cold.
Hopefully it all goes well.

Well, I hope I don't experience the same issue.
It's been assessed and they are just waiting to hear back from the insurance, I'll give them a call through the week.

I'm meant to be picking the car up on Friday, so I'll let you all know how it looks.

I'm a bit late updating this but I thought someone might find my feedback useful.
I was very happy with the service, they dealt directly with the insuarance company and it all went very smoothly.
They even contacted Spotless Detailing in Perth where I had it ceramic coated from new, to arrange another application for me, all under the insurance.
I also got 4x new Pilot Sports as they said they there were a couple of smalll cuts in 2x of the sidewalls. I'm chuffed with that as I would have been needing tyres soon anyway.
Paint finish is 99%, I can tell it's been painted but I'm a fussy git and it's as good as can be expected really from anywhere as far as I am concerned, certainly the best job I have seen in a long, long time.
It will only get better once it has been corrected and coated.
Overall, very happy and would highly recommend.

I wasn’t told the final figure but got an indication it was between 8-9k!
Front bumper, rear lower bumper trim, NS Door, side skirt and a headlight (£700), 2x wheels refurbed, 4x tyres (1k) plus paint and the ceramic coating.
