coullstar 0 Posted March 18, 2009 A few places around here. Protrim just outside Stonehaven are supposed to be good. North East Autobodies in town and another in town that I cannot remember. Theres also one out towards Ellon thats supposed to be ok. Im need both arches, drivers sill and drivers door lower done as well. Was thinking of going to Protrim for a quote.

coullstar 0 Posted March 18, 2009 I stay in Aberdeen, for the moment. Dont go to meets, not really my thing TBH. There is a local VW website www.eastsidevw.co.uk that meet on a Tuesday night. Some decent guys on there and some really nice local cars. I think the Ellon one is Ellon Auto Repairs. Protrim are supposed to be really good. http://www.protrimautobody.co.uk/index.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdnradofan 0 Posted March 19, 2009 Hi, I do know Protrim do good work but not sure about the others, never seen their work. Can i suggest you try Steve Walker Car Body Repair in Findon (01224 784444) I have seen a few Jobs they have done and the work has been very good. Hope this is of some help.

Guest Richie-poos Posted March 20, 2009 I got a quote from him last year for both front wings and it was about £400. £400 seems rather steep tor b0th wings doesnt it? i think my whole front bumper will need sprayed cos the missus miss understood when i said 'park the car in the garage'. i obviously needed to explain that the usual method is to drive it into the open space and not the wall....! its just a graze on one corner.... still not ideal tho!!!lol!
