Crash damage repair garages in NE Kent(ish)
Discussion
Hi all,
The family Qashqai has gained some battle scars, including (but not limited to) wing, wheel, and suspension damage. Insurance has written off due to usual price of new parts/spraying. Currently mulling over whether to move on or buy back and repair. Should get over £3k after buying back, so with a secondhand wing & wheel (and not replacing headlamp or bumper which only have broken retaining clips/ scrapes) I would hope it would be much cheaper than the insurance's £5k estimate...
So, any recommendations for friendly garages who will do a decent job and be happy to use a few ebay parts (well, just wing and wheel!). What I am concerned about is any further damage under the car (subframe, mounting points etc.) as that could make it totally uneconomical to repair, so definitely somewhere that knows their onions!!
Cheers...

I am in the process of repairing our Astra van as insurance wrote it off due to cost of parts so we have bought it back and are putting a new headlamp unit and a new bumper which I have sprayed black back on it.
The small garage that we use are doing it for us but would not normally do bodywork but it’s a favour to us, one thing that the insurance company requires is a new mot as it is now got a cat N on it.
Although I am near you I cannot help with a body shop, sorry
