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..

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

If only I could say the same thing...sounds like the bodyshop might be better than the rest of their outfit.

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.
