hi all, i am in london and have some paint done on my car nearly a year and it has been one thing after an other and still is not right, first they painted the car with out taking any thing of it and left it with over spray and orange peel,then killed my multi media by shorting out the battery, marked my trim,burnt my pentagon safety film on the rear quater glass, damaged all the pillar trims with the buffing machine and left hollow gramming all over my paint work left ago and still not right, to top it all the car now leaks like ..
i think now the insurance company have opened there eyes and dont want to send it back to them, hence why i am looking for a good paint shop.
just to add to it, on returning my car from them the mirrors will not fold or move,mirror cap is not fitted properly and you can still see the primer as they have not painted all over, ext temp does not work, they managed to stick the rear RANGE ROVER badge on the bonnet. i could go on but have just had enough now
i will post some pics, just to show what the quality of work was, V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Wow daveo, that is some list, a proper catalogue of disasters. Makes me think that my dealer/his bodyshop aren't that bad! Although I do need to get hold of a DA polisher to get rid of the last hologram marks in the bodywork. Should never have bought a black car...

ouch, better let us know where it was so it can be avoided!

daveo,
I'm not qualified at all to offer legal advice, but if you haven't already done so you should certainly be seeking redress against the bodgers that appear to have started wrecking your car maybe even pursuing through the courts.

On the good bodyshop front it seems to me that any would be better that the lot you describe but see what recommendations you get from those chirpy cockneys that live south of Birmingham. One thing to remember you tend to get what you pay for, except of course at main dealers  Geoff
