Good body shop in York, Leeds or Hull?
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

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.
Gone but not forgotten.

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
