I managed to have a very minor accident this morning with my Fiat Coupe, please don’t ask!
It has knocked the driver door out of alignment so it will not close properly, although no signs of any
bend damage. Can anyone recommend a decent car bodywork ga4age that will be able to realign the drivers door for me please.

In our hometown, TD Vehicle, unit 6A, Barton Road Trading Estate, Barton Road. IP32 7BE. 01284 761502 (Located behind the large used car dealer)
Did an excellent job on my wife's MX5 after a kind person dinged the wing in Apex car park, needless to say they did not leave any contact details.
They beat out the dent after removing the stone guard etc.(very little filler) all replaced with new fixings etc. All at an exceptionally reasonable price
Now I know this is not a realignment job but they had several jobs in there from main dealers, and had all the modern equipment, so I do not doubt their competency.
You will need to make your own decision, I just speak as I find.

Thanks guys, it’s going into a bodyshop in Stowmarket, they are going to dress the area around the locking latch and reckon that should do the job nicely.
Thanks again for inputs.

No not at all, my own stupid silly moments lapse saw my coupe gently roll back into my caravan. Car door was ajar which stopped he car rolling further down my driveway.
Damage is not to bad, none to th external panel work, it slightly skewed the interior door section around the lock clip. Still kicking myself but could have been worse. I feel gutted as the car is so well looked after by previous owner for 21 years and then I own it for five weeks and damage it redface

All booked in with an estimate that is reasonable. On the bright side at least I can now acquire a small pot of touch in paint for those pesky stone chips.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday. My coupe is good to go, albeit the drivers door isn’t quite closing as it should frown
