Looking for Vehicle Body Repair in Scotland

[Ecoman]

Hi all, its been a while since I posted on here.
Without going into too much detail, I'm looking for a car body repair specialist that can do some work on my LC. I have spoken to my insurance company and they want me to get an estimate from a company of my choice as their repairer is not willing to repair the damage on an older modified vehicle?!?!? I have priced up the parts and the bumper parts alone, unpainted and unfitted are over a grand. The insurance company have said I have permission to fit a winch bumper so long as its cheaper than repairing with original parts and paint. I have done the leg work and have chosen my bumper but unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding a company that will estimate for the supply and fit of said bumper and repair the body damage. Can anyone recommend a decent body shop that is run by people who can actually think outside the box? I don't mind travelling but the closer to Arran the better. I would be supplying and wiring up the winch myself so they don't even need to bother themselves with that job.

I would also be looking for the chosen body shop to do a few other jobs on my LC at a later date.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Bill

Weastcoast may be worth a shout Bill.

They can obviously do everything and use a good body shop. I know its still miles away though

Thanks Karl, I have considered contacting West Coast as I have seen some of their work and its spot on. I'm going to try for a local firm first but if not I will give them a bell.

The good guys are usually hidden away inside industrial estates , they don't need to advertise because reputation keeps them in work , so if you search for industrial estates nearby you might find a bodyshop that doesn't have or need a website .

I have a good friend and mechanic who works in Perth, ground up rebuilds of classics but I am sure he would know somewhere. Send me a pm with your contact details and I'll ask him to contact you.
