Default Bodywork repair in Leicestershire area

Following a bus driving into me last night I am now in the need of some bodywork repair .

It should be quite a simple job of new door and possibly wing but the door won't open at the min so it's potential B pillar too, the sill looks straight as far as I can see. I'd estimate the speed of the bus at about 15mph, I was stationary.

Should I take this to my local subaru garage (Heritage leicester) or can anyone recomend anywhere else? The bill is being picked up by the bus drivers insurance so I'm interested in a good job rather than a cheap one.

I get my servicing done at X Spec in Hinckley and they have recomended Modern Paintwork in Bulkington, has anyone any experiance of their work?

Thanks all.

Why aren't you claiming off the bus company's insurance if it wasn't your fault?

What a tw@t I am.

Sorry mate, I've just read your post and can see you are claiming off him.

Take it to Subaru mate, I think they'll just replace the door.
