Body shop recommendation near Milton Keynes

Post by pete62 » Tue Mar 31, 2015 12:50 pm

Something has been thrown up from the road and removed some of the under tray and has cracked the lower part of the front bumper next to the near side wheel arch on my C5 RS6.
Therefore can anyone recommend a good body repair/ re spray company near to Milton Keynes.
Whilst having the bumper done I may well have the bonnet and front wings painted so needs to be someone who can do a top job.
Any suggestions ? :?:

Might be worth taking a trip to Greg Howell at Southam Bodies. He's not cheap but good paint work isn't :thumbs:

I just had my bumper and both wings re sprayed by hybrid paintworks in Harlow. I no it's not that close but he did a great job . Wants it perfect for you and is quite cheap I think anyway

Thanks for the recommendations. I will have a look at both. Ideally being quite lazy something a bit closer to home would be good but I would rather go on recommendation than sticking a pin in the phone book.
Has anyone used stealers for bodywork I assume they are v expensive?

Chris I assume you were happy with the colour matching when you had yours done?
It all looks good in the photos.

Yeah that's a fair price. I'm looking at £880 for the above but also inc bonnet. I think most decent places will charge about that.

Where are you planning on having yours done Ross?
Somewhere near to Bedford?
