    Decent bodyshops Herts area

    Hi,

    Need to get a wing resprayed on the omega and some ancillary works done to tidy it up a bit.....

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend from personal experience a half decent body shop in the Herts (live in st albans) or north london area that doesnt charge the earth and dont have spurs chinking when they walk......

    Any ideas please peeps?

    Yep considering R-tec, just not after fancy pricing and with the size of the premses, I'd guess that they wont be cheap....?

    If ur only after some spraying doin, there's a small place next to Hitchin train station (unsure of name). Had my bumpers sprayed up and fitted and was a pretty good, not expensive job. Let me know if ur still looking and i'll find out their name & number.

    Hmm they did my MOT actually, nice mob, did get a quote but in the region of 900 quid to do the work I want doing, strangely enough and dont laugh, CD.B's bodyshop quoted cheaper, i nearly fell off my chair...

    Details on that place in hitchen appreciated....

    Basically had a wing replaced and need it sprayed, blended with the door and a couple of annoying dents pulled.....Not rocket science........I hope!

    yeah they are not cheap but a good crowd always get my mot's done there.

    just out of interest how much did cd bramell quote for just a wing respray as i too am having one replaced and need it spraying, gold crest wanted silly money but i didnt even consider cd'b.

    The wing is already in place, courtnay sport supplied/fitted that for me as I needed to get the battle wagon through an mot........CDB quoted about 600 plus the vodka for a spray of the wing, blending it in, and tidying up the body work in general......I think they also allowed relifting and fitting of the wing if required as well.......Colour is satin red metalic, not sure if that makes a difference, obviously need it blending in properly as the rest of the car has done 96k miles (98R only as well!)

    I and a few mates have had work done at Bradshaws in Hemel Hempstead.

    It's near to the Volvo garage on Boxmoor cross-roads (just past Campbell Cars)

    Very pleased with my work and there's a few mint looking cars driving around Hemel with Bradshaws stickers on them.

    Hope this helps!!
    Best regards,

    Darren
