Car Body Shops

[Chubbs]

Seeing as i have just spent 500quid getting it fixed, i might aswell make it look nice again.

So anyone got anyone they know in the biz.

I will need a new bonet and front bumper (unless they can make what i got look like new but i doubt it)

And a few other minor dents/scatches here and there.

Anyone know what sorta prices im looking at?

I need a tiny dent beaten out of the side of mine as well where some idiot opened their car door in the wind.

unique bodywork calne is run by my boyfriends mate - my boyfriend and my bosses have both had there cars repaired here and they are like the fussyiest people in the world!

[Power to people]

I had some twat drive into the side of us fucking up our bumper (foreigner) and the insurance sent us to the Sudbury's Bodyshop off Greenbridge Rd, their sign said they are insurance approved and they done a fantastic job wouldn't know any damage had ever been done.

i think i know where you mean power, buy the jag showroom?

i guess its best to take it down tehre and get a quote

is panel beating expensive even for a small dent?

[Arriba]

chubbs it will be expensive.for what you say needs doing will cost £100's i reckon.

No they are actually off of Greenbridge Rd, I think it is the turning before WH Smith if you are coming in from the Shaftesbury Ave end they are at the end of the Rd - I think the building your thinking of (which is where I thought it was) is probably where the work is actually done, they do the assesment and pricing and have the compound off Greenbridge Rd

Probably cheaper to buy the parts yourself then get them sprayed.

You have a 306 don't you?

car goes into the garage and comes out with a new dent that wasnt there.....where as they claim it was there before the got the car

fucking liars.

simonds in calne, fucking clowns...

[Jamiesfuturewife]

eugh totally DV - someone that worked there stalked me!

[Arriba]

where there's blame there's a claim

[DV]

argh the guy there yesterday

'look kid, im 43 years old and ive been working with cars for 21 years. I know what a fresh dent looks like and that one isnt fresh its been there for weeks'

'well, it bloody well hasnt because it WASNT there when you took the car'

'yes it was, its been there for weeks'

took it else where, got a second opinion.

'no sir, no way of telling how old that dent is....could have been done 5 minutes ago or 3 months ago. They guy is lying and if you're certain it wasnt there then ask to see is quality control check'

rung the insurance company that outsource to the fucking garage and complained to them...they said they'd speak to garage and get back to me....nothing so far....

cool, i'll have a gander around, i got the 306 1.8 xs which was only manufactured for 2-3 years, so finding exact parts is hard, tho i had a look on ebay and theres a guy with the exact same car and colour selling parts, so i have asked him how much, only problem is he's in south yorkshire.
