I had cause to use these people again this week for some paint work. After someone opened their door on mine , the paint shop there has done a cracking job of painting my door & threw in a paint job on my rear bumper after I reversed in to a wall outside my house , all courtesy of the other person.

Earlier in the year after having a repair, I noticed a chip on my roof & thought that a mechanic had dropped a spanner on it, then I noticed black dots appearing around the chip, that have spread accross the roof.

I mentioned it to the paint shop & apparently it's brake fluid, the chip is where the fluid hit the car, most likely from parking my car under a ramp.

I've had the roof painted aswell (£350), plus they've managed to get all the lines out that the AA recovery vehicle's, straps had caused.

Overall A brilliant job, I'll try & get some piccies up.

Forgot to mention, they've touched in all my stone chips aswell & lent me a new car

It belongs to them...as you go down that ramp (that TVR's love), It's on your right by the car rental place.

When Street TVR were operating, they sent me there (the old premises in the town originally)

I believe there was a tie up as the previous owners of the garage that Nick Whale the Lotus dealer on the A38 in Bromsgrove has currently - they were then TVR dealers.

Yeh, that was "Street".

I think the group that owns the Land Rover, Saab, Seat dealerships knocked the
TVR bit on the head.

Yes they did knock TVR on the head.
They had a load of TVR spares for sale recently on Pistonheads - may still be there. No good to me for my 350i unfortunately.

Sorry, but, didn't have good experience with them. Won't go into detail but wasn't good. For paint can only praise [and will only use] Option 1 in Bromsgrove.
Wouldn't have crashed the thread normally in this manner but NOT a good story in any way shape or form.

Same here, I wouldn't use anyone else but Option 1! Plus they pick up and bring your car back, making the whole process totally hassle free and painless.
