Eddie is a true professional. Pictures below show before (first 2) and after. So happy with the work done. Car looks better than new. Great price and much better than taking to your dealer. Give Eddie a ring...

Having been let down by three other people who offer similar services Eddie was a breath of fresh air. He responded quickly in giving a quote and once we'd accepted he kept us informed about when he was coming. The repair looks great and his prices are reasonable too.Anymore scuffs and minor bodywork we know where to go now.
