Can anyone recommend a crash repair co

JonathonS

Needs to be in Kerry but apart from that I am flexible travel-wise. Not an insurance job so I'm looking for a company that can do a good job at a reasonable price.

As I said...location is not the key requirement, I am more interested in a good job at a good price.

Having said that the closer to Killarney the better.

Not personally but they're the "go to" guys for some friends of mine who are into their cars. Near Killarney there's a place near Lisivigeen. Don't know the name of it but Google would throw it out

John Fleming? He's supposed to be great.

I've used them twice and they are excellent but definitely pricey. This is because they replace anything that's damaged straight from the manufacturer rather than going to the likes of Relihans dismantlers for a 2nd hand part. Fortunately I was not the one paying and both times the car was as good as if it never happened.

Humphery Kerins,near Lawlor'a Cross,or John O Connor Lissivigeen,-
Both very good!

Thanks to all who made suggestions. I will try John Fleming in Lissivigeen first and see how I get on.

I got what I consider a very good price from John Fleming. Much less than I expected. Looking at the cars in the workshop he seems to get a fair bit of specialist work - vintage models and so-on, so I am confident that he will do a good job. My pride and joy is booked in.

Final report late next week once she is back on the road.

Got the car back, a fine job, looks like new. Very happy.

Bit late for the OP, but I used kingdom for a relatively minor job in 2015 and I had an awful experience:

5 weeks from insurance co approval until they started
Took in vehicle "for a week", had it for 2
Courtesy cars are absolute wrecks of Clios and a Corsa which would fit as a forfeit car on a Top Gear challenge (yes, they had my car for so long that I had the "pleasure" of using 2 of their sh1tbox cars)
My vehicle returned without all repairs completed and with some of the completed repairs also needing redoing.
Eventually, everything got sorted after much arguing with a disinterested staff member who I think was called Mike.

I had selected them originally due to referral from a happy customer. After my experience, i wouldn't let them paint a wheelbarrow!
