Try J&W body repairs they were recomended to me after the Brian incident. 77-77a Loopland Park, Castlereagh Road, 02890 452 121. They gave me an estimate there and then. They seem to get a lot of work as the place was full of cars.

Guys,

I have used J&W personally.....Twice before, but not my fault.

Wee old man in city hospital car park, reversed right back into me despite me blasting horn etc.

Fecking white van man pretty much did the same thing in my work carpark about 6 months later.

First car was an MY98 green UK Turbo, then second one was an MY00 Blue UK Turbo.

They did a fantastic job with my car.

I've also brought cars back to them for machine buffing etc.


Cheers,

Shaun

Barry,

Takes away some, doubt that it would take away something that deep though. But I guess they could probably do something to "fill" the scratch before buffing.

Buffing does leave the car remarkably clean & shiney afterwards.

Cheers,

Shaun

Has been quite a while since I had a car with them, but I think it was around £30. probably more now though.

Ring them on 028 9046 0800 and see how much it is now.

Try Autobody in Ards (I know its not belfast but its close lol) 028 9182 2230, I don't drive a scooby but when I needed a wing replaced on my car he done a first class job and he isn't that expensive either.

Tell you something else.

Whatever you decide to do , don't go near Bodytech on the Donegall Road.

Fecking cowboys, i've got personal experience, not with the STI though thankfully.
