Having personal experience of a small car restoration business in Australia over about fourteen years I can particularly recommend Car Body Shop from the young lady receptionist through to finished repair. They even offer to match any quote given by another body shop.

Full marks again Car Body Shop
Once again, excellent results from Car Body Shop. Their staff are always very helpful and professional in explaining what is necessary for the repair. I needed a comprehensive report for my insurance company, especially as I chose to use this company instead of one of the repairers on their approved list knowing what excellent work they do. The report was comprehensive and my insurance company authorised the repairs without any further questions.

Yet again five star service from this first rate garage. Took our car in with a serious sounding noise and got an immediate inspection. Broken suspension coil spring. Never thought it would be repaired straight away as it was two days from Christmas. However it was all done the following day. They have looked after our car and motorhome now for several years for repairs, mots, servicing and paintwork and can’t recommend this garage highly enough. Prompt efficient and a fair price. AAAAA

Small bodywork repair
Easy to get a quote by sending a few photos of the damaged bodywork. They weren't the cheapest quote I received but decided to go with the Car Body Shop as they appeared to be very helpful and professional. Work appears to have been completed to a high standard and the work was completed on time without any issues.
