    I think the body shop in Blanchardstown shopping centre is good. Well the girls behind the till are a bit of alright :D:D



    But really though, you tend to get what you pay for. Id want to have it done once and done correctly rather than peeling laquer which ive got from cheaper recommendations.

    I would say try Carcraft in City Centre Ace Body Repair in finglas or Dennings at the Tallaght exit M50.

    All of these do insurance work and work for the large dealers. Price wise should be fairly similar but their work is great and guaranteed.

    Try : http://www.metromotors.ie/ That site seems to be under constuction at the minute but the contact details are there. Paul is one of the owners as far as I can remember.

    Another Boards.ie recommendation that I used. Perfect job and a seriously friendly/easy to deal with bunch of lads.

    Ashgrove repairs off kill avenue in deansgrange.

    Got my Audi repaired there a few months ago and couldn't believe how good a job they did, flawless, and I spend ages scrutinising it.

    Much cheaper than the others I asked.

    Crofton Motors, Sundrive. Not the cheapest but they do an excellent job. I've had many cars repaired by them. Always to estimate, always on time and always perfect.

    Place simply called 'The Bodyshop' in Damastown did some brilliant work on MsDerp's 206cc but like the above recommendations I'm not here to tell you it was cheaper than everyone else, just that it was good. Authorised repair shop for a few insurers.
