North West bodyshops

Any good recommendations for a decent paint shop in Chester/Manchester area? Someone hit it in a car park the other day and it needs sorting.

HB Panelcraft in Preston are excellent. They are BMW approved and do all of the Local BMW garage work (Bowker Preston)

http://www.hbpanelcraft.com/bmw-repairs-preston.html

I've had the front end done by them after the bonnet got keyed and you can't tell!

Might be a bit of a way to travel for you but I can't fault them.

Sorry Steve forgot this one. Local guys details attached, completed quite a few similar repairs for my BMWs and the wife's mini. Hope it works out for you.

Don't forget to 'appreciate'

Ok thanks not after a 'smart' repair - need a proper body shop.
