Bodywork, Twickenham

Post by Kate »

Does anyone know a reliable garage who could undertake some bodywork repairs to a 1970 traveller (not the woodwork). I'm in Twickenham so need someone relatively local - south west London, or east Surrey?
I'm hoping someone here may be able to give me a recommendation.
Thanks in advance

Kate you could try www.osc-chessington.co.uk .
He painted my classic car , plus two for two of my best mates ( one owns a two door Morris Minor saloon !! ).
All three were a " post restoration " complete respray. I know of three other cars including a classic Jaguar that were painted by OSC. I took my own car back after a stationary ( me ) "roundabout shunt " up the backside. Lower valence with no access behind for panel beating out.
His bread and butter work is for a Rolls Royce specialist but he has lots of classic cars through the workshop ,
including some concours sportscars flown in from abroad. In case you're panicking at this stage of the game about cost , his premises are certainly not modern, the opposite in fact.
Cost ? I've found that they are reasonable compared with other quotes. Standard of work... perfection everytime !
You may have to wait a week or two , he is always busy ( as the best people always are ) but....in my experience people who can " fit you in straight away " don't do much repeat business.

Thanks Rob, I’ll give them a call. Someone suggested Chertsey Minirs but the one time I took my car there for a service it broke down 2 days later...

I recommend checking out Twickenham Auto Repairs. They have a good reputation for bodywork, and many locals have had positive experiences with them. Another option is MOT & Service Centre in nearby Hampton; they also handle classic cars. Hope this helps!

Is that why the posters name has no profile?

Well done Simon, thank for your hard work in dealing with the annoying AI scraper bots.
Watched a clip of someone cold called by AI. He asked are you AI? to which it replied, "wow I must sound bad today for you to think I'm not human" It then went straight back to its AI script :roll:
Regards Bill
