Recommended body repairers ?

Post by IanD » Tue Mar 01, 2011 9:54 pm

Looking for a body shop in central belt would be nice if near Lanarkshire - what is the latest recommendations ?
It is very minor damage to the clam (stress marks / crazing only) but want someone who deals with fibreglass to check it out and give me a price to sort it - other driver is suggesting a non-insurance job if price is 'reasonable'.

Looking at previous posts Steve Walker, JRM Coach works & Willowbrae seem to be the only relevant ones mentioned. I checked Hunter & Reid (Strathaven) as they are only a few miles away but not trading now.

Cheers,
Ian

Thought that was the case - a real shame as they were really good and always reasonably priced too. :cry:

mark_h has just collected his car from Steve Walker...might be worth asking him for an up to date crit. Bathgate shouldn't be too long a hack from Larkhall...A71 to Breich then A706, or M8 of course if you can stand it :shock:

The repair work to my Exige was nothing short of briliant. Steve was great to deal with, and attention to detail was spot on. Gets a big :thumbsup from me.

Steve is aware that us lotus owners can be a tad particular about our cars and aims to please.

Not with the car at the mo but will get some pics soon.

Cheers

Mark
