bodyshop recommendations

[nogrille]

all

welcome a newbie by sorting me out with a decent bodyshop. I need someone who takes pride in their work, doesn't use filler (unless to skim minor imperfections) and doesn't cost the earth!

Am I asking too much?

I can unreservedly recommend Ewelme Coachworks. They will do a superb job at superb prices....and nice people to boot.

Get a quote from Tom Horsborough in Frensham. Does a fantastic job. Had 2 cars done with him.

I've just got my S3 back from Tom after he rebuilt the back end which was fairly majorly disfigured after someone ran into the back of me. The quality of the work appears top notch, and it's all very nicely finished.

He's actually moved to Kingsley now, between Bordon and Alton, and his number's 01420 473860.

Failing that, you could try Harrison and Co. who're in Farnham behind Hawthorns.

Saw your car at Toms and it did look a bit second hand, glad everything is sorted now!

Best ring Tom on the 01420 number (Denzil will give you his mobile)as may cause him grief ringing Harrisons, as he is currently helping them out on a freelance basis...quality is always in demand.

Yes, it did look very sorry - much better now though! (Must get round to taking some photos)

Oops! Just reread my post and it does sound like I'm suggesting contacting Tom via Harrisons. What I actually meant is that Harrisons could be an alternative to Tom if he's too busy etc.

I'm just about to book in to The Body Repair Shop on Martlands Ind Est nr Woking. Was recommended them by a mate so we'll see. If price is your thing then this guy is very cheap like between a third and half the price off the usual ppl I get quotations from.

If you mean Gerry next to the cafe and wedged between 2 scrappies then yes. He was doing a Saab 9-5 when I picked mine up this afternoon.
