    Has anyone got any experience with them?

    I booked my car in for next Monday after they gave me, in my opinion, a good quote for some minor repair work to be done.

    Had a look at some of the work they have done on cars in the yard and it looked good was just a bit surprised by the price.

    I can't get pictures to upload though to show what damage I have done But it just requires some small panel beating of the wing, filler, preparation and spraying.

    Main dealer wanted €650, Bradshaws wanted €200 :confused:

    I can highly recommend Bradshaw Bodyworx. Ive had various classic cars repaired and his work is second to none. Its hard to find people who take pride in their work and the cars Ive entrusted to him have come out perfect.

    Good to hear.

    he had an S2000 and a late 80's S class in there today so hopefully alll will be good.

    Seemed like a nice bloke that I was talking to. Was shocked to hear he didn't have more to repair when I told him what happened.

    My only worry is the paint work won't match up as I don't want a constant reminder of what happened

    I'd be very surprised if it didn't match. They do wonders in those paintshops.

    Hey.

    got the car back on Tuesday and just thought I'd update and say the work is to a very high standard.

    Nice guy who runs the place and who done the work. Talked over the money aspect with him and what the local main stealer wanted, he was shocked when I showed him the breakdown of my quote from them.

    Anyway I'm happy enough and would recommend him

    I think the thoughts of heading for the crash barrier with that impending silence that comes with skidding on black ice will remind me of it more than he will :D

    yes :(

    No pictures though as i have no camera in Wicklow. nothing much, just some light panel damage to the drivers wing. It could of been a lot worse as I was heading straight for the crash barrier. Its going into the garage on Sat for a check up before the NCT on Sunday but the place that done the bodywork said there was nothing wrong underneath other than a scratch to the alloy form hitting the kerb.

    I continue my streak of not having a car more than 4 weeks without it being damaged. Most have been done by others I might add :)
