Which bodyshop out of these?
Discussion
I am looking to get some paint work attended to and I was looking at the following bodyshops to do the work:
Performance bodyshop in Airdrie
Pro bodyshop in Cambuslang
Buchans in Rutherglen
Protek in Bathgate
Steve Walker in Bathgate
H. McCartney East Kilbride
Has anybody got any good or bad experiences of these bodyshops or any of these that they would highly recommend?

Not on your list, but Mitchell Inglis in Glasgow are really exceptionally good.
Last year they made a complete backside of repairing some major front end damage on a friends 911 Turbo - poor panel alignment, forgetting to hook up new headlight cluster, and when he asked them to put it up on ramps for him to inspect the underside he discovered overspray & damage they hadn't attended to - because they probably didn't expect to be caught out?!I wouldn't trust them.

Now that's strange because they are Porsche authorised (as very few are) and issue guarantees for completed work using proper Porsche branded paperwork. AFAIK they are also Ferrari authorised, and if your F takes a hit they're certainly one place it's very likely to be sent for repair. I take it they sorted your friend, given the strength of their guarantee on insurance work.
Yes, when he dropped the car off he came back raving about how the car was in safe hands, as Mitchell Inglis had told him all about the training & machinery they had.The car initially looked ok on the face of it, but I think they got a shock when he asked to see the underside up on the ramps, probably not the norm, and whilst he did get it sorted, it took a few trips back and forth & in the end he was worried that down the line poor workmanship may show itself so sold the car a month later - shame as it was a bit of a beast!
Back on topic I can second Terzo's recommendation of Ferrymill, sorted a car for me about 6 yrs ago and its still in the family & the paintwork looks great, no tell-tale signs years later that its been painted!

Had plenty work done up at Performance Bodyshop on previous vehicles etc and after being there, seen it, done it with plenty other paint shops.... That's where I would recommend, Colin the owner is a big car enthusiast, great eye for detail and only wants to put the best finished job possible out the door!.
