So's that. 
Thing is it's not the first time you've complained about a good quote that ABW have given you is it?
Nobody has their head up ABW's bullet hole as you put it. You asked where to take your car and you got a response of where people would take their car if they needed body work doing.
Never.

Just so everyone's aware your quote was to :-
remove interior
remove all trims
cut out front screen
cut out rear screen
drill welds/remove roof skin
clean up then fit/spot weld new skin
primer ready for you fitting vinyl
bond screens back in
refit interior
refit all trims
and I quoted you £500
remove interior

cut out front screen
cut out rear screen

In short i want it gone. a simple welded plate in the hole and made smooth ready for a Vinyl covering. No painting or other things just a plate!!
I can remove the Sunroof myself if it saves me a few pennys, could you possably give me a quote to do the job??
i have been quoted 2 -3 even £400 to do it which i really think takes the **** as to a pro welder would take a short amount of time to do!!
thanks for your time and i hope to hear from you soon!
You're gonna have all sorts of trouble trying to weld a plate in there mate . It'll distort the whole roof , the only way I'd do it is change the whole roof panel .
ite bud, what sort of price would i be looking to have this done?
cheers
you'd need to remove front and rear screens , roof lining and the interior mate , cost wise without painting you be looking at £500 ish
cool... where are you based again? and how long would you want the car for?
cheers
I'm between Tiptree and Maldon
CM98LS postcode
how long would you want the car for?
Just a week if you don't want it painted mate
so let me get this right, i got to remove my interior, roof lining, windscreen and rear window have to trailor my car there (as its illegal to drive with no screen) you have my car for a week to spot weld a new roof in for £500??
have i got this correct?
no mate you've got to bring me your car and a new roof

Scoobyman from a completely unbiased point of view there have been a few companies the esc have used over the year's that no longer seem to be in favour due to one reason or another,but abw has alway's seemed to have great feedback the esc as a whole don't blow smoke up any company's *** as their car's are too precious for that.
On a lighter note there are a few who love to wind people up as they're bored at work

Not seen anything come up on my phone but it's being a nightmare again at the moment. One minute it works the next minute it's on but frozen. Don't ever buy a Blackberry.

Thumb or no thumb, that was rude. I'm not going anywhere near anyone's rusty sherrif badge let alone ABW's.
ok maybe a bit rude but im annoyed....
The point everyone is making is that the price quoted for that job sounds reasonable - whether you go to ABW or not. A quote for half that sounds very much like a recipe for disaster.
I agree thats a good quote but i was not quoted that to start with, confusing pms etc, im sure they will come out as proof soon!
If the price is outside your budget then there is little you can do apart from save or go with the cheaper quote. We all suggest you save.
I wanted to go with ABW in the first place and would of been willing to save £500. im not telling tales on a live public forum but id rather go somwhere else! There reputation is mint i know, as was another company i got recomended to from here, and they were a night mare too!!! seems word of mouth is not always the best option unless you "in the right crowd"

Cant be arsed... Pms were confusing, Was not clear in my eyes, maybe im to thick or not special enough to be able to understand people telipathicly or somthing.
Sorry to ABW, i know you lot have haylo`s falling out your bums but at the end of the day, you was not clear enough to me. I also stated i dodnt want to start a war at the start of this thread, and it just proves this forum is there for a handfull of peoples opinions only. If you are not them... your opinion is wrong.
Shame really
END!

Chronologically speaking I think the thread postings were unfortunate.
I haven't needed to use ABW for ages but I know his advice isn't BS
Help is always on hand if you ask the right questions
i have asked a couple of companys who said it cant be done which i know is BS,

Ed, time to get your roof sorted mate, that's much cheaper than I thought Stu,
I take it that was directed at me?
TBH it does sound like a VERY good price, but the car is only worth @£3.5k. Hopefully I'll be getting a new car within a year (RS now on order
), therefore it doesn't seem financially sensible to start spending big money on it to look pretty.What do you reckon?

It's worth that much! It's that dodgy version of blue remember
"Is it" or "its"
