Default Body shop Repairs Aberdeenshire

Folks,

Please can you provide any recommendations for body shop repairs north/south of Aberdeen? As I managed to reverse the XC90 into a bollard so needs bumper repair, then somebody kindly put a car park ding in the front wing.

Cheers

There is Kinghorns at Blackburn.

Or Gray and Adams.Fraserburgh

Both are good and the only ones I would use.

Depending on budget you could consider Paint Technic...a Smart Repairer (but you may be pleasantly surprised what they can tackle & their prices)...my folks & friends have used & recommended.

Used James Conn, many years ago, good professional (if not cheap) job.

Heard good things about Kinghorn too...

P.s Just don't use Arnold Clark...first hand bad experience with them a few years ago with a previous motor!

Good luck

If its a ding on the wing and the paint is not broken why not give Jim Paterson from the Turriff area a call.
He might be able to push it out if accessible and you will never know that its been damaged.
I'v mislaid his phone number but any garage will tell you his contact details.
Arnold Clark do not have a dedicated Volvo body shop in Aberdeen now .

"Arnold Clark do not have a dedicated Volvo body shop in Aberdeen now"...I misread that initially...thought it read just body shop...presumably all marques now just go to a central body shop...hope it's better than their service centre...(used it for wife's Mazda)...it's a disaster!

I have personally used Paint Technic on a MOT fail off side sil rot and he saved me a fortune. I can recommend PaintTechnic in Aberdeen.

good luck.
