Hi
I am need of some recommendations for a body repair centre in Manchester.
Just over a week ago I managed to clip the rear passenger wing of my ST against a pillar in the car park for the appartments where I live, and have managed to mildly dent the wheel arch and put a big scrape down the side.
Initially thoughts were (apart from thinking what a
I'd been) that I was looking at a bill of about £400. Just been down to the Polar Ford repair centre and they have quoted me just over £900!!
While I understand that the paint needs blending down the wing of the car, the actual size of the damage is probably 40cm's at the very most. The quote I have is fairly detailed and includes one day to strip the side of the car and beat out the dent, and then one day to spray the car and put everything back on.
If £900 is the going rate then I will have to pay it, but what I really need to do is get some more quotes from independent repair centres.
Thanks in advance
