Default anyone know a good bodyshop in birmingham or surrounding ?

i had my car resprayed recently however they were a couple of runs in places in lauqer.

i was told by the place that resprayed it the runs will come out as car still needs to be lightly flatted then mopped which they never got around to doing.

after a lengthy argument and me nearly being arrested for guy not finishing work i have decided to get car finished elseware.

just wondering if anyone knows a good bodyshop in birmingham or surrounding where i could take it.

car just needs light flat them moppping so would not think this would cost much as cars had the respray.

anyone know a good place and also will it cost much ?

If you have never done this before you would be risking having to repaint if you make a mistake as you need to be careful not to strike through the paint to the primer.
Best left to a proffesional to be fair mate

Gav i wonder why you felt it important to tell me i had a spelling mistake in my sig??
Also i do remember Alan very well, even if i did forget his name, sorry for that i wasnt quite awake when i posted my answer, his receptionists name is veronica aswell, just in case you misslayed that information.

As you say though its not impotant
Also the spelling mistake is there for a reason and if you read it correctly you might, just might see why.

I mentioned the spelling mistake as i was trying to help, guess i shouldn't bother in future
I also posted who owned Vidak as Alan lives by me and i have known him and his family for many years, again trying to be helpful although im starting to wonder why i bother at all
