Post Crash repair - D S Motors

A couple of days ago my MY03 has a meeting with a lamppost. The headlight area has bee ripped backed to just before the wheel. Only seems to be a little damage to the chassis. The engine still runs but car is not safe to drive big distances because of the damage.

Anyway the garage to fix it is collecting my car from its location on Monday. Garage is called D S Motors in Deptford SE8 London and they are the insurance company 'approved' garage. Has any anyone got any comments on them?

Drove past them last night and thier sign says they have a laser jig and a low bake oven, but don't know if that makes them any more professional.

Or can anyone reconmend somewhere within reasonable distance that I should use.

Any comments/advice appreciated.

You can have it repaired where you like; a large Subaru dealer might be a better bet.

I think he means they take pic's as they go through the repair showing that all the required works have been done, i.e. chasis pulled straight, primer etc... so if anybody ever asks you have something down on paper.

Could be wrong!
