Midlands Bodyshop

Recommended Posts

To my horror a friend opened the passenger door into an oncoming Royal Mail van this weekend, it's safe to say plenty of screaming and swearing occured.

Can anyone recommend any decent bodyshops around Leamington Spa/Stratford-Upon-Avon area? Can't bare to go to the passenger side currently knowing it's there!

I spoke to Greg Howell, but he came across as a bit of a bellend, so I left him alone. Didn't try the others to be fair. 

Where abouts are you based? Looks like a TRD? Might've seen you driving down wedgenock lane, Warwick a few times?

It is indeed a TRD. I live in Stratford and work in Leamington so I'm between both places each day.

I see a lot of standard 86s and I know there's an aero in Warwick but I believe I'm the only TRD. So if you see a white TRD it's prob me, give me a flash and a wave ;-).


As for Greg I've organised to go see him for a quote Monday so I'll gauge him up then. Took it to Spa Motors Thursday and guy seemed like an ass there and quoted me £540 which I think was an overquote because he didn't want to do it. He pulled the figure out of his ass within 5 seconds of seeing the car.

@GT86Bob not too late currently, ive only managed to make it for a quote with Greg Howel and a local Leamington bodyshop. Greg quoted £900 and said whole rear quarter will need painting, I think thats a bit steep personally the paints expensive but I wouldn't say the whole rear panel would need doing from that? Other garage didn't seem to understand how the pearl paint works with 3 stage painting so guna give them a miss.

Ill give your guys a look up and see if they also reckon a full quarter paintjob is needed. Thanks!
