Good body shop in Surrey?

ed335d · 08-03-2008, 09:52 AM

Can anyone recommend a good body shop, Walton-on-Thames area?

Got a couple of minor scrathes from inconsiderate parkers that I'd like to tidy up.

Thought I'd just get this out of the way....

not sure mate, ask Serjames he lives that way and has had his car done before after some lorry hit him.

You might not need a bodyshop, depending on how deep the scratches are. A good detail and paint correction using a porter cable may be all that's required. How deep have they gone?

If you do need a bodyshop, contact BRM Coachworks in Epsom. Or give a friend of mine Simon a call at Mach One Cars and see if he can recommend anyone - he's based in Cobham. 01932868010

James had his car fixed at BMW - not really a cost effective remedy for the OP I don't think

Got three thing I need to get sorted - some fine scratching that looks like someone's brushed against the wing with something slightly abrasive (can barely see it, but I know it's there), a scuff from a door being opened against the passenger side door (down to white, but fairly small) and a small dent in the rear bumper that looks like it's been hit with a heavy duty trolley.

The car's going in to a local dealer to have the front bumper replaced, where someone reversed into me - I just don't want to give them any more business than is necessary due to poor customer service.

I'm considering the Aero Package (which will sort out the rear bumper issue), but haven't quite made my mind up.

Mine has lots of scrathes now and needs a proper detail.

I've used Smart Solutions before - they come round to you and they all seem to have experience of working at dealers before e.g. my guy used to do all the bodywork at Coopers before Inchcape bought them and started using their own guys. Would recommend them, did a really good job on my old Puma after I scraped the rear bumper on a low wall in Cornwall.
