Any recommendations for a good body shop near London/Kent
Discussion
I guess you already know you can (I believe) specify the bodyshop over where your insurer may push you.
Just a couple of points -
- I'd steer clear of the major outfits, know so many other people (including the wife) who've had really poor work done and then passed back to them. I think one work coleague managed to get into double figures and several months of to'ing and fro'ing to get his car right, imagine what a mess they could make of a Corvette.
- Personally I'd go to someone who has previous (good) experience with Corvettes, since they'll know at least how everything goes together, as well as any specifics of painting a fibreglass rather than steel car. When I had a small amount of work done a few years back, even a TVR shop were a bit nervous of the 'Vette since they didn't really know how it was screwed together.
Hope this helps!
