APR in ruislip

I have the dent on the bonnet and nearside panels to do so that means blending it all the way to the back rear qtr with the other shopping trolley dings(that was the mad cyclist !!), then the big lorry dent on the offside, which again means from front to back.They are going to respray the bumper, new bonnet etc.
so with the work done on the back (you remember mate ) last year, the car will nearly be all done oh except the roof, but cliff kindly said if i park it round his area overnight someone will nicely do the roof in for me so to complete the job so to speak
(i wisely did not take him up on his offer )
Car is in for all week so guess what..back to a courtesy car for me

where did you go?

It should look like a new car then

Mine was supposed to have been in for a week so I booked it in for when I was away with work for a week but when I went to pick it up on Monday morning they hadn't even started work on it I got it done at that bodyshop in Wooburn green in the end

is that the one bottomfeeder recommended or your own choice?

typical isnt it, you get everything arranged to suit you and to fit in with your schedule and then they dont even start work until near the end of the allocated date muppets, gives british workmanship a bad name !!

when i called up APR to confirm the work, I repaeted twice to the guy that i needed the car back for the weekend and he said that 5 days is enough, so when i booked it in, he said they will start tuesday (now call me stupid but tues-fri is not 5 days !!) and then after we had booked it in, he asked if it would be a major deal if the car wasnt ready for the weekend. so after all that he was just hedging his bets I dont blame him, as it stops getting shouted at if you fail to deliver, but it just shows that everyone does the same. but your guys seemed to be taking the proverbial

anyway it looks great mate, just remember that you are newly wed so dont ignore the other love in your life
