Default Rusty arch repair in Surrey

Hi all,

I live in Farnham (work in Fanborough) and might need to have the o/s rear arch done soon...

Any recomendations for a decent bodyshop in the area?

Thanks,

Jan

I had mine done at Canada Coachworks in Byfleet. I would thoroughly recommend them, they did an excellent job. They also do all the body repair for the Porsche dealership in Byfleet.

I've used canada coachworks in the past. Unfortunately they didn't spot how bad the rust was over rear wheel arches and covered it up. 4 yrs later and had to have one arch replaced and the other fixed. TGM, can't recommend them highly enough. Tom's brother, Willy, does the resprays and it's an excellent job. They won't rip you off either

I live in Ash Vale so not far from you and I use TGM for servicing etc.

Let me know your experiences with them for body repairs as I'd be interested to know

Thanks.

Will do mate.


I was there yesterday, got a quote and booked the car in for repair next week - Can someone tell me what I should expect to pay for a decent job? I just want to check that I'm in the right ball park!

Can post before and after pic's if anyone's interested..?

I paid £400 for both sides. This was cutting a small section of metal out and welding a new bit of metal in, respraying etc
