Default Decent body shop North Wales

Hi guys,

Just had my car back from the body shop after a run in with a car park gate..the repair is faultless, however the colour match is terrible..i have questioned the guy who sprayed it and said it looks odd due to my car having gone 'milky', he insisted that after a good tcut/polish/wax etc it would match up really well...i doubted this so took it to a place in Wrexham that valets super cars and they said no matter how much i tcut it/polish etc it will still not look right and have suggested i find someone who can re-spray the repair work so it matches.

Can anybody recommend me a decent bodyshop that could do this for me?

Cheers

At the end of the day if he has sprayed it and it hasnt turned out right than its up to him to sort it out. If he thinks the car would need t-cutting after the respray then he should have done it aswell. A good bodyshop would advise you of that at the time. Keep nagging him till he sorts it out

Small Claims Court or CAB. Bad workmanship is no excuse.
