Body Shop Recommendation Near Perth Please...

[col666]

I've just noticed this while out shopping-

I have been offshore for the past 2 weeks and got back yesterday afternoon, I had the car parked in a hotel car park in Dyce which I have used for over a year with no problems. The car park isnt the safest in the world but I had a quick look round the car when I picked it up but didnt see any damage but the n/s wing was the only place I never really inspected!

It looks pretty fresh as theres only a tiny amount of surface rust but no other marks, i.e. footprints of scratches. Luckily the bonnet is undamaged.

It was parked at the end of a row of spaces with the damaged side out in the open, I've called the hotel but they were useless.

So, where's the best place to get it sorted??

An unhappy Col.

ouch! thats pretty high up,it must have been a truck or pick-up to do that mate.

Its a strange place to have a dent, it looks like something pretty heavy has dropped on it rather than been another vehicle.

Dont really want to go through insurance although my no claims is proctected, apart from the stealers where coud I purchase a genuine front wing?

ouchy, rotten timing just before Xmas.

Try Ian Ross in Luncarty (just outside Perth 1st turning off the A9 as you head North from the Inveralmond roundabout).

If you can speak to Ian himself, let him know you're looking for a top job. He's pretty good price wise too.

tut tut col, you shouldent be leaving your car in car parks when your offshore dude, i leave mine at aberdeen airpark, only costs £2.50 a day with 24 hour security, i just pay for it get a receipt and bill it into my company as travel expenses, even if your company dosent pay it 2.50 a day is feck all if you cars locked up away from joe public

Thats a shocker Andy! How somebody can do that and walk away is unbelievable. I was in Tesco too when I noticed mine but had obviously been done somewhere else.

Acid,

Yeah I used to use the Airpark but the company wouldnt pay for it, guess where I am going next time!

Sorry to see that mate!

The guy mentioned by Christian is Richard Deas, PM me if you want his number. The guy that owns the building he works from is a bit funny about folks just rolling up (he's currently looking for new premises with a more amiable landlord!). Does a top job, got mine going to him in the new year for a respray and the missus Vectra for rear arches.

Bad news Col 666 (and oobster), what are people all about these days? No respect at all.

Thats where use as well never had a problem in 4 years and Petrofac won't pay the parking

tight a***s

Col take it your car was Skean Dhu or Speed Bird or something?

I have a mate who could spray it realy cheaply if your struggling?

[markymark]

Fu**in B*stards.

It looks like something solid has hit it more than someone kicking it.

[G.Mac]

Thats pretty crap Colin.

My brother was saying that the hotel he stays in before heading offshore a bin lorry slipped on ice and took out 5 cars, 3 of which were big newish Mercs

Hope it doesnt cost too much
