Car Body Repair

[ilikethepub 10]

Can any body recommend some where i could get my car un bent. Its been in a rear end smash and due to the age of the car the insurance has deemed it uneconomical to repair due to the parts cost.

I've been told some other people that i could possibly get the bent parts of the car knocked back in to shape and i would only need a light and bumper.

Does anyone know of a body repair shop that would do a job like this fairly well. I don't need it to be perfect, just want the car to be useable for the next couple of years.

Thanks

Sounds like you need more than car body repair if the insurers wont repair it. Sounds a bit iffy, if the boot floor is bent id forget it, cant you make a claim ?

they won't touch it cos it'll cost £2000 to repair with genuine parts and replacin everythin bent. The car is only worth 900. The engineer from the insurance company who came to inspect the car today just confirmed what i thought. Because there is no structural damage it could knocked out again and would be perfectly safe.

Its the passenger side of the boot that is bent, the tailgate is only slightly bent in the corner and i could probably pull that back by hand. An area around where the rear light fits has been pushed in, this is what i need lookin at

I just used Reshape on Store Street (just off ring road). They more than halved my quote from the main dealer (it was £800, reshape charged £280) for a large crease in a door and did a fantastic respray job.

 

I said as I paid for the work that I'd recommend him to as many as I could so there you go
