From the first phone call to the day of collection, the service I received was excellent and the standard of work completed is also excellent. One member of staff in particular (Rebecca) was superb and is an absolute asset to the company. I would definitely recommend Cosmetic Repair Solutions

I called in to ask their advice on some scratches in the Lacquer on my bonnet and they asked me to pull it in to the workshop so they could see better under their lights. They then buffed them out why I waited. Now thats what I call service. The owner was really pleasant and just wanted to be helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a good fast quality service.

Report
We decided to use cosmetic repair solutions after a couple of ridge and roof tiles blew off and damaged the wifes astra gtc. There was significant damage to the rear window spoiler and damage to the rear bumper. We contacted CRS who from the start were helpful and professional in every way. We took the car down and they gave us a quote which was a lot cheaper than I expected. We dropped the car off on the 22nd Dec and picked it up today ( 30th Dec) All I can say is what a transformation. The quality of the work they have done is absolutely 1st class. 5 star service from start to finish. Would highly
