Need to have a new panel welded onto my range rover, I'd like some recommendations of either garages who carry out welding to a high standard or any body shops that people have used for welding.

Ideally they should be in Northampton but don't mind travelling a short distance (up to about 10 miles) outside Northampton.

Been on their website today and can't help but think that welding a panel won't be their forté, have you used them to do body work or know someone who has? I don't want to pay stupid money for high end fabricators to do a simple panel replacement. That's not to say I want to cut corners, but I want to select the right tool for the job if you know what I mean.

Quick update, wasn't happy with the estimate from them, or their lead time so have got it in at a land rover specialist in Wellingborough.
