Good body shop in York, Leeds or Hull?

Post by Cassie-UK » Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:00 pm

My lovely new beast has a few scratches that I'd like to have fixed properly (ie not by me). Could anyone recommend a good body shop in any of these areas?

Thanks :thumbsup:

Have used Auto Celulose in Hull, good colour match but some slight orange peel effect in places.

Have used Prestige and Auto Cellulose,top marks from both :) have also used Paintwork solutions to sort out a job done by Chips away,also good -suppose it depends on your budget Prestige are recommended by Stratstone stealers so will be the dearest.

I just used elite bodyworx for my headlight inners, i wouldnt use again.

I believe auto cellulose is now closed.

I've been recommended Prestige by local detailer, and will be taking my M bumper to them.

OK, it looks like Prestige is the way to go....will get an estimate soon and then start saving!

Thanks everyone. I just had a proper go with Autoglym resin polish on a few of the scratches and am really surprised the difference it made. There are a few deeper ones though which I'll get an estimate for, but not nearly as many as I initially thought :)
