    I need to replace the drivers door in my car following a bit of damage which was done to it. The estimates i've got from some garages have been very high.
    I have a contact who said he could fit the door for me and get the paint work done at least 50% better than what i'm being quoted. But i would need to supply the door.
    Do ye think a garage would allow me to just purchase a door from them?

    Depends on the dealer but most will if you have the part code to hand.

    You could also get said door in a scrapyard.

    Motor factors don't do doors. Main dealer only.

    OP, of course garage will sell you a door. In almost all cases you can expect they will have to order one in for you. Expect a delay of a few days.

    Your best bet is to get a secondhand one. Don't buy red (unless your car is red) as it will show through afterwards if the paint is chipped. If you are really lucky you might get one the same colour as your own car, but don't hold your breath !
