Hi all,

I bought a new megane about 8 weeks ago and today when I was visiting my mum slightly scraped it on body work at wheel arch. I know typical woman lol. It does not look very deep. Was wondering if anyone knows somewhere that would be reasonable priced to get it fixed. I am living in Belfast and really don't want ripped off.

    There's a reliable place on the Shore Road between Greenisland and Carrickfergus, if you're willing to go out of Belfast a little bit.

    Same as blueberry pie, I think they are talking about Greenisland body repair, just facing the Clarion hotel on the shore road. They repaired body work on my corsa a good few years ago, it was a good job.

    Also I have used Harry Todds (i think thats his name) in Doagh to repair bodywork on a saxo, it was a good job too, he had a few 'flashy' cars getting work done so he must have a good name.

    Missma, because its an nearly new vehicle make sure it gets fixed properly.

    In my experience the cheapest quote will not be from the best body repair shop around

    Yes I have, when I was involved in the motor trade.

    They used to do a excellent work & am sure they still do

    They have all the high tec stuff including a drying oven which is desirable

    Let me know how you get on
