Darren was brilliant and was able to quickly fix my car that was badly damaged at the front end after hitting something on the motorway. He was able to fit my car in the next day despite being busy. He was honest at what the car would need and the price for this. Also seemed very knowledgeable in regards to car body work. He was very understanding that I needed the car for work and made sure to have it ready at the end of the day. Can't fault the service and will be back in a few weeks to get a little sent corrected.
