However we acknowledge your negative review, we sent an email explaining as to why we would not be prepared to overcharge anybody in this way, which was sent to you before you placed this review. We hope you've managed to get your vehicle repaired elsewhere.

DO NOT TRUST!! DODGY LIARS!!
Firstly having seen the awful mess of a paint job that was done by pride and joy on my good friends Ford capri. I was very skeptical getting a repair quote from them anyway, however I gave them the benefit of the doubt and took my car to them for a quote for a front end repair caused by a third party reversing into my car. The third party would be paying for repairs.
Whilst getting the quote I was given 2 options. To repair the wing or replace it for a new one. Whilst I was there the guy providing the quote asked if there was anything else I wanted fixing or tweaking

Terrible. Simply. Terrible Service with lack of basic paint skills. I had to do 3x paint rework of my wing in my car as they job was horrible with lots of paint issues. Go and do your job somewhere else and do not deal with those cowboys.
