Hi,

I now have a modded car - A little old man drove into the rear of the left side of my car the other day, making various alterations to the car's exterior.

He accepted responsibility, and I have his insurers details, but...

Who should I get it fixed by?

1) The repair centre nominated by his insurer?
2) The scooby garage I bought the car from?
3) Another body repair company?

Basically, which will do the best job? If you reckon option (3) is the best, do you know any such places near Bristol?

Any help much appreciated... I'm taking it for a quote at my Scooby dealer tomorrow morning.

One you can get a personal recommendation from which will invariably not be the one that his or your insurance company want to use.

Try and hold out for a good one and don't let them bully you into using one you have no knowledge of....

Good Luck!

Matt

I'm in bristol and my scooby got scraped by someone who misjudged his turning circle. I took it to a place on the Bath Road who do all of Subaru (Tiley's) of Bristol work. It's next to the Jaguar garage Colliers.

They did a great job and they are insurance approved so no worries.
Plus the babes in their are not bad either .. lol

I can find out the what the place is called if u like or just call Tiley's and ask them who they use.

hope it helps

aj

sc00byd00 - thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to hear!

These are the guys who've just seen the car... They said its a fairly small job, and should be fixed next week or thereabouts. To hear that they did a good job on yours is a very reassuring thing.

Dan.
