Bodyshop recommendations in Wycombe?
Discussion
I need recommendations for minor ding repair to what I think is a Peugeot. Bodyshop needs to be in High Wycombe. Suggestions appreciated.
Background:
Girlfriend dinged someone's car in the station carpark. Left a note, needs to pay for repairs (can't be much damage as her car is hardly marked, but that's not the point - she's doing the honourable thing).
Anyway the owner of the car is getting a quote from her dealer's bodyshop which is fine. Girlfriend rightly wants 2 quotes (we all know how dealers can sometimes be a mega ripoff and indies often do a far better job anyway - at least on our Audi and my TVRs they have).

If its just a supermarket ding, it may be best to get Dentmaster or similar company to have a look.
Cheaper for you and better for other person as car won't need re-spray.
I've seen these guys get out some pretty big dents "tennis ball" size, and make a cracking job of it, anything over that I think is paint.

I polished paint of the bumper of our car so the other car definitely lost some unfortunately. I've not seen the damage.
Fletcher's Bodyshop in Loudwater are very good but you can tell from the cost - so probably not great from your point of view....
However you might find it more useful! Or anyone that wants a good job doing, they have several awards for restoration of classics Rolls Royces, Jag's, Ferraris etc - and they do Slough Fiat's insurance work!

Any of these any good for full resprays of a bare shell?

Funny world. One of the 'less good' bodyshops I've encountered is the one in Slough who do all the Audi/VW/Saab/Porsche work.
