Report
About 10 weeks ago, somebody hit the side of my car in a car park and caused a crease in my nearside rear door and rear arch, and scuffed my rear left wheel. I was told by a number of other repair specialists that my car wouldn't look the same after the repair due to the colour of the car and was told that it would be quite difficult to find a good enough paint match to then blend it in. I then was recommended to go to Motor Bodies by a friend, so a quick estimation, appointment booked and I took the car in. After they had the car in for a week, the car was ready to collect. No signs of repair

I have just received my car back from motor bodies after having a bump to my car. The incident was very stressful, but the repairs process has been so easy and efficient. I have been kept informed and up to date with the progress of my repair throughout the whole process which has been so useful. The collection process was so simple and Debbie was really helpful and provided a brilliant service with a smile. And to add my car is the shiniest it's ever been! Thank you!

Collected my sons vehicle today after a third party caused damage last month. Debbie was really helpful on collection today. Frequent updates throughout the repair process were appreciated though my expectations as a customer could have been better handled- I had been told the vehicle would be ready a week earlier than it actually was, via one of their frequent updates which was a little frustrating. Overall though a really good experience.
