Some kind person has tried to squeeze past my car and has left a nice scratch and a bit of a dent down the left hand side. As expected, they didn't leave their details so I am faced with the bill.

Can somebody please recomend a place where I can get this work done. I want to get a good job done but I don't want to end up shelling out loads of cash.

I am so p*ssed off, so any help will at least make me feel a bit more positive about things.

I am based in West London.

SG Autos is sorting out my prang. Only had it three weeks and is a brand new STi8, the guy who owns it is a mate of mine so I will probably get a good deal but might be worth a try anyway

Thanks for the suggestions...

Charlie, Sorry about yours - it's always worse when it's a new car!

Any others?

Just take it round to AnG in Park Royal mate. Ask for Angie, and tell him I sent you.

Sorry to hear about this, bet it's the last thing you need. How's everything otherwise? Been for any decent Chinese meals lately?

Unhappy

Charlie, I felt like crying in the street. I'm actually not that p*ssed off anymore now. I've been thinking about my mother who has been diagnosed with cancer recently and it kind of puts things into perspective. Damage to the car is a minor setback, but it can be fixed, I wish the same could be said for the old lady...

Slowboy, it's great to hear from you! And, no, it's not the same. It's about more than just the food mate, it's the people, the atmosphere, a place where you're always welcomed no matter what else is happening in your life. It just isn't the same without it!!

W.

Wuss, I am sorry to hear your news, I don't know you but kind of pales my dented car in to complete insignificance.

Charlie, just remember, it'll be as good as new when you get it back!

Slowboy, I'll send the email when I get home tonight - an excuse to go to a meet I think...!

Talking

A quick update my prang has now been fixed and at an extremely affordable price. Would like to recommend this bodyshop as the guy picked up my car within 24 hours and fixed it in half a day.

Ok he is a mate of mine but am sure he would give a good price to anyone mentioning me.
