Is there any good body shops in Chelmsford/Essex?

Post by Vindezal »

I'm in need of a good quote from a body shop to To repair and paint damage (rust)to :- o/s ¼ panel, change and replace o/s front door , blend to o/s front wing. Paint front bumper.

I got a quote of roughly up to a grand but think i can do cheaper?

Not sure how he will compare in price to elsewhere, but normally he's competitive and the quality of finish is much better than a cheap shop 8)

Try Chelmsford Carriage Company on the old A130

I had my fibreglass wing sprayed up there and they did a bloody good job of matching the paint and was reasonably priced too!

These guys did my Rev 3 Mr2 Turbo that I spent 20 grand on.

They are LJS European/Maldon Car Body as djpkins has said above.

Check out the complete colour change on the Porsche cab,Just stunning.

Paint,body kits,Supeagard,wheels,you name it they do it.

Amazing work at great prices.

They are in Maldon Essex.

Useful info. I'm in Colchester so Little Bentley would be handy for next year when I plan on getting some work done.

Minor correction though. I think the website is:

I think these are based near Chelmsford:

Ive just realised who LJS are - Chap's name is Lee and he fully resprayed a mk4 fiesta door for me, removed trim, got dent out behind the door handle, reinstalled trim, matched black paint for a good price!

My mate's RX7 is being done there too.
