    Any good around that does a good job so I do not need to go back after 2 days because while washing the car the paint comes off?
    I would like to avoid the very expensive one in Dublin 3, they might be very good, but price is too high.

    Cheers

    Being honest, whatever body shop you get, I dont recommend washing the car within a few weeks of the paint being done so it can set properly.

    Also with the weather as it is right now id probably even leave the work for a few weeks until its perhaps more amenable to paint setting tempretures. unless you really have to get it done.

    My problem is that they did not bake the part.

    Who is the one is D3 if you don't mind me asking?

    I want someone more than good and I don't mind paying for that, unfortunately my previous bodywork guy is no longer available so I've been looking around for another since.

    Carcraft. They want 370 for the front bumper.

    Carcraft in Fairview are good, had a problematic door which they sorted.

    edit: The timing of my post is comical, saved me a small fortune though in not having to get the door replaced.

    Are they giving you these prices over the phone?

    I'm always very wary of any bodywork/paint place that will quote over the phone, even a ball park figure as anyone worth their salt will always tell you that they need to see it first before they can make any kind of recommendation/quote.

    No I went down. Big place, makes sense I suppose. I just find it too dear for my old jammer that's all, I am sure they would have done a great job.

    500 for one bumper is a ridiculous price tbh. That is insurance prices, not cash sale prices.
