Recommended Smart Repair - Stirling/Glasgow Area

Looking for a recommendation for a good quality smart repair in the Central Belt.

Work colleague has a few relatively minor scratches on the wing/bonnet after a collision with a cyclist at the weekend. (And before anyone jumps on the cyclist-bashing bandwagon, it was just an unfortunate accident)

I'm trying to get some reference pics, but from the sound of things it may just be just the lacquer layer, and as far as I know no dents.

Has anyone on here used someone they rate?

Cheers

Hunters body shop in Falkirk are very good. I always go to them as their work has been perfect and don't try to rip you off either.

Did you get anyone in the end mate? My wife has just sent me a picture on my lunch break showing the outcome of wall vs. bumper on our X5, so looks like I'll be going down this route

Not to hijack this thread, but rather than start another could I ask the Glasgow boys if anyone has a recommendation for an independent to service the F30 in the Glasgow area?

I'm not going to get another service out of my pre-paid plan, so I'm looking to get it serviced away from the dealer. Only one I can find is "B for BMW" in Clydebank.

Try this place. Guy is called Johnny and used to work at a stealers (can't remember which). He knows his stuff and I had my f11 serviced there. He knows his stuff, uses genuine parts (or sometimes ones of a better standard like the rear suspension airbags) and is cheaper than dealers.

Thanks, Nadz, that's the kind of personal recommendation I'm looking for.

....but You seem to have left off Johnny's garage name/location.

Now I feel stupid.

Sorry and sorry for the tardy response

Not at all, Nadz - I'm sure you've got better things to do than answer my daft questions.

I'll be over the South Side tomorrow, so I'll swing by and check them out.

Thanks again.
