    Wife busted the front bumper on her Audi A4 yesterday on a high kerb, lucky enough it’s only the plastic part, grill is intact so just the large mounding to be replaced. No paint or any damage to panels so a simple job: Spray new panel and fit.

    Can anyone recommend any good quality bodyshop in Bray / Shankill/ Dun Laoghaire area that does a good finish without wasting money.

    Thanks.

    Exclusive Autobody in Bray did wonders for scratches on my last car.

    Highly recommended and they didn't fleece me.

    Can't remember the owner's name - very professional.

    I think Anan1 said that the place there is now called Ace Autobody, and I don't know if it's the same crowd and/or if it's the same standard. It was very good though.

    Thanks for the good advice everyone, several good choices locally, and the insurance will pay without hurting the no claims: only €190 excess

    Ace in bray are the same as ace in richmond road and finglas and also longmile road but i just heard today that one of the partners has been a "bold boy" with the company cash and the courts said the other partner noel cullan is to take over all the running of the business. Noel is years at this he always got my car sorted for me and im sure he will keep the business in top form.

    I wouldn't go to Coyles if they were the last bodyshop on Earth. GF got a wing painted there (before I met her), it's a completely different shade to the rest of the car. A friend of mine had a door painted, paid top dollar for distinctly average work. What really topped it off, though, was when I got a quote last year to replace & paint the front bumper on a Forester. They sent me out a written itemised quote including a bit over €300 for the bumper. I called Castle Subaru in Bray and was quoted just under €200 incl VAT for the same part. Rang Coyles and asked the guy who'd done up the quote where he was getting the bumper - he said Castle Subaru.

    @OP - I've heard good things about Exclusive Autobody too.
