I don't usually leave reviews however, in order to protect someone that may be on a limited budget I felt obliged. Mick had my car for nearly a month to spray 2 new front wings, both rear quarter panels, the bonnet, and a couple of other areas in addition to undersealing all arches. Upon phoning me to collect the car, areas of rust had been missed which were listed on an email when I dropped the car off. There was a new scratch to the rear bumper which was not there when the car was dropped off. When I went back to collect the car I then noticed large areas of orange peel on the wings, door and rear quarters. In addition, on the rear quarter panels around the arches you can see sanding imperfections due to poor preparation. The petrol flap which didn't even need painting now has a poor finish and rust on the inner edge of the flap after only a week after. I've also had the inner plastic arches off the car to inspect the undersealing only to find the critical panel fold areas have poor, to no coverage in some areas. Having lost faith in their abilities, and seeing that Mick was fed up of having the car I paid and took the car away. I used Mick as I'd seen a job he'd done on a neighbours BMW which was flawless for 1 panel. Where my job went wrong I don't know. I suspect the dark blue colour of my car is not forgiving to poor preparation and perhaps shows faults more readily than a solid white or red might. I will now be paying again to have the work redone elsewhere.
