Default best body shop

Can anyone recommend a good body shop preferably in the Glasgow area. Don't mind travelling a bit to get the best. My front bumper needs a respray. What is the average cost for a front bumper respray, No damage etc. Was quoted £300 today from a local body repair centre and thought it was quite steep but it's been a long time since I have used a body shop so not sure if that is the average rate.

Thanks in advance.

Seemingly a cracking place in centre of Wishaw at very good prices & if u haven't already got job done give me a shout and I'll get details mate.

Jef have u used that garage mate and if so good prices and work as I'm around that area so could be very handy for me?

Haha thanks Katana Man and to everyone who posted. I ended up going with mclarens body shop in Kirkintilloch who I couldn't recommend highly enough. Done such a good job of the front bumper I ended up painting the skirts and rear bumper too. Finished result looks ace. Just ask for Michael for anyone interested.

Just seen this, Derek Leeson at Leeson Coachworks in KIlsyth is also excellent and more likely cheaper than Mclarens. Been using Leesons for years. Just had my fibreglass doors and some other parts done and the finish is superb you wouldn't be able to tell the doors were fibreglass.
