Decent bodyshop near swindon?

Slinky1989 · 26 Apr 2009 at 03:37

Someone has decided that my big brother's octavia was a good lump of metal to use to sharpen their keys.

Anyway he now has a nice deep scratch on the boot lid.

Anyone know of a decent bodyshop near or in swindon he could get it sorted at?

Cheers.

Fish Brothers have a big bodyshop in Elgin Industrial estate, they put a new side on my Golf a while back when a chavver decided to mount it with his Saxo.

No idea how they compare with others but they did a nice job on mine.

Yeah I'm by vic hill. Dads house is just behind longsbar and mums is by the beehive. 2 min walk from eachother

How did you remember where I live so well! /scared

I need to start scouting around for cars locally, any ideas for dealers?

Lol, I don't know actually! Just popped into my head!

Well what are you looking for? Your best bet is actually private sale as most of the dealers in Swindon have quite hideous markups on prices.

I'm buying my car from a friend so if you know anyone who needs to sell a car, bite their hand off as they'll usually do a better price cos they know you

There is always Nationwide Crash Repair Centre, on the industrial estate next to the Oasis

Motorama is a good bodyshop, just up from the garden centre off Junction 16 of the M4, used him a few times he is very good. Here's the details;

Bassett Down Workshops
Wroughton, Swindon, SN4 9QP

I am just going to have a look around and possibly ask for a test drive, or let my dad drive for me and have a passenger ride. Buying will most likely be private as you say
