Mike, TSS Garage in brierley hill are your cheapest option. They specialise in commercial vehicle body work but do do cars as well. Don't expect an amazing finish though.

Sorry I missed you all, work commitments . After sales service is very important and I think Sha and the lads do well to make sure you are happy with the work that has been carried out. Always been made to feel welcome at pole p. I can't say the same about other companies where arrogance has taken priority over the basic stuff like manners and acknowledging you are even in the premises until its time to talk about money.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, I think its going to be a 5/6/7 most likely. Mate has got a 6 which is circa 500bhp in white with white wheels, absolutely gorgeous car! Just need that bit more money to get a nice one that's not a dog. Found a nice 6 UK Ralli-art car but I don't have the cash currently

I agree. There is plenty of "market choice" out there, and as the consumer we get to choose, on price/knowledge/reputation,etc etc to where we take our cars. Its horrible to have something go wrong on your car but then to get no "aftersale service" makes you feel like a turkey on christmas eve.
When you find somewhere good.....dont go elsewhere, even for a set of wiper-blades, thats my motto.

I think you're spot on Think I have tried every specialist in the midlands . Had an issue recently that could have been a mistake made by pole. turned out they had done nothing wrong but they were more than happy to check the work again with no extra cost! (Even though it turned out they were not at fault). For me its not if you have a problem its how the problem is dealt with that makes the difference. Too many places try and bull**** their way out of possible trouble instead of taking the matter (and the customer) seriously.

David said he'll likely have it a couple of weeks so I guess you will see it. It's filthy as I haven't washed it in weeks

Evening guys, you should stop worrying about your cars. You spend that much time and money obsessing over them and pampering them that they should go through fine
