Default Can anybody recommend a bodyshop in Newbury ?

As per the title, looking for somewhere that has booth / bake, can deal with minor corrosion and produce a factory equivalent finish first time at reasonable cost. Would prefer if they have dealt with scoobies before as some parts removal / refitting will be required.

Thanks

Feel bad saying this as Len is busy enough but if you get stuck you could always trying ringing Subaru4you on 01635 35355 and asking since he is based in newbury.

Thanks

I'd thought of asking Len but I have since found somewhere that seems to fit the bill and am booked in for the work to be done.

Cheers

Ken

That's good news, I know one of the proprietors, he bought my old HKS FMIC from me, while I was living in Wokingham funnily enough...I know exactly where they are too.

Very reasonable. There was a small issue with one of the panels that you could 'just' see in bright sunshine, and they whipped it back in a few days later, no quibbles, no discussions.

Good guys..

I had the work done at Quartz body shop on Hambridge Road. I am very pleased with the job done and would be happy to go back there should I need more work doing.
