Someone drove into my Z4 drivers door today, there isn't much damage, some scratches and a small dent. Looking for a bodyshop to fix it, any recommendations? I live in Glasgow City centre so ideally somewhere nearby but willing to travel if need be. I know Mitchell Inglis in South Side are Mercedes approved but wondering if PHers have any other bodyshops they have used and liked.

Ferrymill in Torrance, or McLarens in Kirkintilloch are both good shouts

Immy is a credit to the trade, used him for a passenger door after a kids scooter handle left a nice 2" scratch.

or RM Bodywork in EK, Roberts excellent at repairs and body work. Done a Z3 coupe restoration recently which was nice.

The 'approved' bit doesn't mean much I'm afraid. You won't get any backing from the manufacturers when it goes wrong. I suspect Mitchell Inglis take on far too much insurance work and when it's all at a flat rate of what I believe is £27 per hour and they will be given a set number of hours to do the job, then it's no surprise that the jobs are rushed and workmanship is poor.
