Body shop in East Sussex?

Post by Silverzedtom » Sat Apr 07, 2018 12:44 pm

Can anyone reccomend a decent body shop in East Sussex or within reach from Crowborough? Front bumper and new M bumper need some work.

So far I have been over to Owlsbury in Crowborough but they were shut despite their website saying they are open :headbang: and I’m now looking at Motor Care in Tunbridge Wells who are BMW approved. Not so bothered about the approval I just want a proper job.

Any ideas or heads up’s appreciated :thumbsup:

Booked in at motor care on Saturday. Since a lot of their work is on Mclaren’s, Aston’s etc I thought they’d do a decent job.

So nobody has had paintwork in my area? :tumbleweed:

Thanks for the kind offer but If you’d be happy to let me know who they were and if you’d use either again then I’ll take your word for it... I remember seeing your car and how good the paint was :thumbsup:

Thanks :thumbsup: a little bit further than I’d ideally like to go but their website is impressive. I’ll give them a call and see if they’d be up for giving me a rough estimate if I send them some pictures.

I haven't used anyone yet - i got a quote from Chandlers Hailsham when the Z was having it's last service, for a full rear bumper respray which was £391 - didn't bother as there are only a couple of minor scuffs..
