Hi all,

Does anyone, South type based, know who is good for repairing dents and some re-spray work ?

I've had a few quotes which are a bit silly, and I don't know how good their work is One bloke struck me as a complete to$$er, who's first reaction was an intake of breath, saying it's going to cost yer........

So any recommendations - I don't mind travelling a bit, to get someone who's good

Cheers all
Rich

Depends what you mean by 'travelling a bit' Rich?!

I can recommend Alfred Coker and Sons in Edenbridge, Kent. They are an independent, family owned, Honda Approved bodyshop.

They did a great job of putting my Prelude back together when some dozy bint rear-ended me.

More recently, they sorted out Dog Biscuits S after sundry altercations with foxes, old women in Renalt Clio's etc etc.

See if they under stand reporting them to immigration authority.

Then slap them with a small claims court summons if they dont pay for damage
