#1: Ecosse price for repair. Author: GregorG, Location: LinlithgowPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:17 pm ---- Went to Ecosse Peugeot today because it's only five minutes from my house, and asked about getting my dented near-side wing replaced.
Spoke to Greg who was really friendly and was happy to help, and i was given a quote of round about £250 for a brand new sport wing, colour matched to my car and fitted. I've been looking for ages trying to find a second hand wing but it seems that they rarely exist in Flamenco red, so i accepted the quote and the work is getting done on monday.
What d'you guys think about that price? personally i'm happy to pay it because i know that the lads at ecosse will do a decent job, but a couple of my mates said i'm getting ripped off

#3: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:21 pm ---- Ripfuckinoff..!
Direct from Peugeot a sports wing is £90 inc vat. You can get a wing sprayed and colour matched for about £60 quid.
#4: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:23 pm ---- It's not a bad price considering your getting a new wing. Also paint materials arnt cheap these days.
Paint materials.
Etch primer.
Wet on wet primer.
Basecoat.
Clearcoat.
Then Polishing and fitting.
Like I said not a bad price mate.
#5: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: dturbopeck, Location: newcastle upon tynePosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:24 pm ---- Its not a bad price at all! After all ecosse is not a back street garage and you will be getting a good job!
#6: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:29 pm ---- at the end of the day is only a front wing, why paying that much?
i bet even pug dealer won't charge that much.
and who knows if Ecosse is using genius front wing but not some chinese unknow front wing?
#7: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:36 pm ---- I purchased 2 gti wings from Brian and got ecosse to paint them and post them down to me, and it cost less than that did.
I sold a flamenco red standard wing for like £40 posted, maybe i should have charged more

#9: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:38 pm ---- oh also, is it just a dent or a major scuff and dent, just get it pulled out
#10: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:41 pm ---- By colour matching do you keen by Colour chips or blending the door?

blending the colour with the door.
#12: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:51 pm ---- Right well if there blending the door and not just using colour chips that is a good price.

pretty major scuff, has taken it down to the bare metal, would definitely have pulled it out myself otherwise

yeah blending the door and the bonnet
#14: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:05 pm ---- Door and bonnet go for it mate you won't get cheaper. My company would charge more than that.
#15: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:17 pm ---- What you looking at, about 3 hours paint and 2 hours to fit? Plus paint and sundries at about £60. Price of the wing on top. Sounds like a good price. £20 per hour is cheap.
#16: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:23 pm ---- Materials will be more than £60 mate from a body shop.
#17: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 2:19 pm ---- You pay for what you get in these cases.. Cheap job = just that, a quick cheap easy bit of cash from a back street sprayer who'll just spray the panel and not blend it leaving you with a shoddy finish.
Pay Ecosse prices and you know your going to walk away happy and never know anything was ever wrong with the car..
To me thats a decent price if it includes blending with both the door and the bonnet..
#18: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:22 pm ---- Their paint work etc is dear, but believe me, it's well worth paying the extra dosh for it having had a whole car done.
#19: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: smiddies, Location: BrightonPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:30 pm ---- Brain any idea how much eccosse will charge for a full respray??
#20: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: GregorG, Location: LinlithgowPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:22 pm ---- i could go and find out how much a basic full respray is if you want smiddies?
like i said, ecosse is 5 mins from my house
#21: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: dturbopeck, Location: newcastle upon tynePosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:12 pm ---- they wanted £5500+vat for my 306 and that was just for the paint work alone!
#22: Re: Ecosse price for repair. Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:53 pm ---- Look. Half of these sort of repairs is piece of mind. If you dont like the price dont pay it. If you want a w**k finish with paint that doesnt match pay £60.
If your car matter to you and you want it to be perfect pay £250. Simple. (Oh and im talking from experience here )

well said mate,
i mean fair enough i could probably get a second hand wing sprayed and fit it myself for a low price but i love my pug to bits, and if £250 is what it takes to get it back to it's original state then so be it

There is nothing worse than driving down the road and seeing a prestine car with obvious signs that a single panel resprayed. Even though the garage used the same colour, they can never age the paint. Blending can reduce this a hell of a lot.
Never used this lot myself, www.bodyrepairquote.com/ and probably never will. Prefer word of mouth advertising for all repairs. There is no amount of advertising that can replace a happy customers comments.

Depends on the work involved really. They tend to have different classifications of: "full re-spray" and it's how far you want to take it. They'll never quote you over the phone either as they need to see the car itself to see if there's any dents that will need extra work etc.
They had a guy in recently who bought a new c-class coupe in black but changed his mind and wanted it white. I don't know if that went ahead though? You'll find that the body shop is busy just now as they're doing LOADS of insurance repairs.
