Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good specialist garages in the Bucks/Oxford area? I've been using Camden Renault in Aylesbury, but their customer service isn't great. I'm also planning to have the rear arches on my car done in the summer can anyone recommend a good bodyshop in the same area?

Thanks,
Mike

Camden Aylesbury are ok with me but then I have gone of on one at them and they get everything bang on since.

I use a bodyshop over in Chalfont st Giles, expensive but the work is shit hot, he normally repairs Ferraris and Porsches but he's a family friend so sorts me out.

Where you based by the way? What you drive?

I'm in Aylesbury with a williams 2.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I'm next in Oxford.

Yeah Camden Renault are ok I guess, I've only used them once I suppose! Was probably just a bad first experience.

Sounds good, I'll investigate that bodyshop, just been out getting some quotes recently so I'll have something to compare it to.

I'm based in Saunderton, near Princes Risborough, driving a Williams 3! :D Bought it last December and loving it! I'll post some pictures when it's dry! Yeah I think I might have seen you around and I think there's someone who works at Molins who owns/owned a Williams, dunno if he/she is on here?!

That was mine as well. Sold it once i'd bought my williams. I always used to park just as you go through security on the left hand side, there was only 2 spaces there and ment less chance of door dents.

Hehe yeah, I thought that's why you parked there! Both minters mate, think that's what inspired me to buy one :D!

So how often do you go to meets/trackdays etc? I hear there's one coming up in Herts in March? I think I can make that one.

A+E body repairs. Expensive but good. I'd rather pay proper money for a proper job. You get what you pay for IMO.

you could always try mynheer, they are based just outside of bicester, I think they would probs charge a lot and try n put a big chav style bodykit on it, but worth ringing for a quote.

Oh btw can anyone recommend a good place to get wheels refurbed/touched up? Mine only need a touch up and need the rim done and laquered on a couple of the wheels.
