Car paintwork repair in SW London.

[k3pler]

Someone scuffed my rear bumper when parked at work with relatively mild cosmetic damage but no dents. They actually left their details on my car which I thought was very decent of them! The car is an old city runaround but I keep it maintained and (relatively) clean and would like to get it fixed.

We agreed on settling it outside of insurance to avoid the inevitable rise in premiums etc. I went to a body shop today who estimated £250 + VAT for the job and that it would take 3 days. I thought this seemed a bit steep but then again I'm not an expert.

I thought it was probably wise to get another couple of quotes and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for reputable body shops in and around SW London or Surrey who they could recommend. The mobile fixers like ChipsAway etc. seem to have quite variable reviews.

I've attached a photo.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks AWPC, I will request a quote using their online form and see what they say.

I've not had this done outside insurance in the past so wasn't aware of what the going rate was. At least I know what the ballpark figure is now.
