How to Choose a Body Shop Near You

Not all body shops are equal, and a cheap respray that fails in a year is no bargain. Here's what to look for before you hand over the keys.

VW Transporter β€” panel respray

1. Real examples of their work

Ask to see before-and-after photos, or better, cars in the flesh. A good shop is proud to show you.

2. Genuine local reviews

Google reviews from real local customers tell you a lot. Look for consistency, not just a high number.

3. A proper booth

A controlled, baked finish lasts. A quick spray in a dusty unit doesn't.

4. Colour matching

Ask how they match paint. The answer should involve your car's factory code, not guesswork.

5. Honesty about scope

A trustworthy shop tells you what it does well β€” and what it doesn't. Beware anyone who says yes to everything.

6. They want to see the car

A quote from a photo alone is a guess. The good shops ask you to bring it in.

7. It feels right

You should be able to talk to the person doing the work. At Complete Paintworx, that's Al β€” come and have a chat.
