I was initially sceptical about booking someone I found on Facebook to complete some bodywork on my car. It's nothing special to most people but has been my pride and joy. Being bright white, I was worried anything less than a really good job could look awful. Got a quote for four smaller stone chips to be repaired, one larger chip, which went down to the metal, needing a whole panel respray and one small dent in the door.

Got a price via WhatsApp which was much lower than two competitors and a body shop I used previously (who weren't great from previous experience). Kind of made me more sceptical but went for it after seeing some more good reviews recently.

Dent repair was carried out by another company which I was prewarned about. All done on the drive way inside an hour. Perfect finish and no hint at all that there was a dent there – which is good going considering it had been there for a good while and in the middle of the door panel. Bit odd as the mechanic insisted on waiting outside the house while I transferred the money and waited for it to clear – but I can't think of any other way of doing for him to make sure he was paid without carrying cash. All good.

Paint tech came the following week and did a great job. Polite, courteous and went out of his way to explain the detail. All work completed in 5 hours. Excellent service again.

8 weeks later, I honestly can't find any hint of the repairs. I'm the first to notice the tiniest imperfections too but I have to check against old pictures just to have an idea of where it was worked on. Really impressed. You'd probably only get a comparable finish only if you went to a high-end spray shop who you have to travel to, wait at and pay around 3x the price to. It's really surprising that such a good finish is even possible on a driveway open to the elements.

I got 拢900 (5%) over the recommended part ex price for mine thanks to the bodywork condition, which is down to this work which left me in profit after paying Car Wizard.

Sidenote, 3 days before it was due to be collected after being sold, I managed to get another stone chip and these guys bent over backwards to help me get it sorted before it was due to be handed over without hiking the price up (28% cheaper than a quote from Dingmaster based on the same images and time-frames).

Will 100% use these guys again in future and won't feel the need to put off repairs now I know there's someone out there doing it above my expectations.
