scarlet_vr6 0 Posted April 13, 2008 anyone know any good bodyshops in hampshire, pref nearish to Basingstoke? Someone reversed into my car today and I want a quote for getting it repainted. I don't know any bodyshops in the area, nevermind if they're decent ones or not. Any help gratefully received, I want to get this sorted asap. TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted April 13, 2008 :( That's bad news. Where did it get hit? Try Sandydown body shop between Stockbridge and Winchester. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted April 13, 2008 Sheesh Fay - is your Corrado cursed or something? :( Good luck getting it all tidied up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted April 13, 2008 yeah it does feel like that sometimes Jim! Things come in 3s don't they? :pale: Thanks for the suggestions - I'll give them both a call tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Thats bad luck Fay :( Same thing happened to me last year. The said neighbour drove off without even mentioning it but luckily a friend had witnessed it all and the neighbours hubbie admitted that the description of the car matched his wifes car. She later said she had not realised she had hit my bumper but even more luckily it was a company car and they paid up without a quibble. Very minor damage really but £260 to put right! Hope you get it sorted soon. Keep a record of all conversations, dates etc as this will make any arguements you might need to present more convincing.

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted April 16, 2008 thanks for the advice Vaughan, that's def a good call. A record like that would help and with the photos as well, hopefully I'll get it sorted. Lucky that your friend witnessed yours being damaged and glad to here it was sorted easily. Not sure this one will be but fingers crossed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekara 0 Posted April 18, 2008 Sorry to hear about this, I've found of late people seem to care less and less about other peoples cars, as I know to my own expense. The main insurance preferred bodyshop around this part of the world is BP Rolls, their prices are fairly reasonable and from what I've heard do rather impressive work. If you're looking for a more lost cost option I've got another couple of contacts at the VW bodyshop in Andover, top blokes and good value too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted April 22, 2008 thanks Ross. BP Rolls are one of our customers - I wonder if they'll do me a good deal?! I've been to VW in Basingstoke, just have to wait for the written quote to come through the post now.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
