Default Looking For a BodyShop

Hi

Was sat in traffic the other day in my 205 GTi not the Scooby luckily when a foreign HGV drove into me at low speed, anyway long story short my insurance company want me to go to Nationwide Crash Repair in Ponty.

Any one recomend a good bodyshop I can take the car too, I've seen the recomendations in the other threads but couldnt spot any contact details.

Thanks
Jon

There's http://www.oldschoolengineering.co.uk/ who I've used and are spot on.

Also http://www.leeandturner.co.uk/bodyshop.asp who others have used and reccommend.

Contact details on both links or send a PM to "Scooby401" who manages the Lee and Turner bodyshop.

Two options for you squire

Quick update.

I haven't contacted either of the recommended body shops yet as the insurance claim is proving to be a right pain, if anyone is ever hit by a foreign lorry don't assume that just because you get all the drivers details you will have an easy time making a claim, you wont.
Currently having to put a claim in against my own insurance as its a minimum of a 10 week wait for the European insurance company to respond. Or at least this is what I'm being told.

So the 205 GTi is parked up and unused for now.
