Whilst driving down the M6 last week I was hit by a lump of something, causing a large chip on my door.

Does anyone know a very good paint shop (at a reasonable price), I don't mind travelling to Edinburgh, Ayr or Perth areas for the right place, but it must be the best quality as this is my Discovery 4.

The 2, I would recommend are Jacksons in Kelty and David Philp Coachworks in Camps ind. est. West Calder

I use Jacksons as they are very local to me and do a great job. I’ve used them twice (much to the annoyance of the insurance company) on the wife’s cars, both were under 3yo at the time of repair.

David Philp Coachworks are a top end repairer. They came 2nd in the UK (last year I think) and Davis senior won a lifetime achievement award from the industry (2013)
They concentrate on large vehicles but are equally at home on cars/vans. 01506 882212

If you want a top end job then its DPC, if you want a great job that is very reasonably priced then use Jacksons.

Just my opinion, im sure others will be along to help you out.

Sorry to hear that Dave - Liz ran into a log that had fallen off an over-loaded trailer on Friday, panning in the front bumper and valance on her van. Luckily no damage to steering etc as far as I can tell but the plastic valance is ripped to shreds. Strangely enough the other driver did not stop......  Grrr.   

There is a good repair guy in Callander but he usually has a very long waiting list. Did the bodywork repair and respray on my 90 after I rolled it, and at a very reasonable price. If you don't find anywhere closer I can check out his current work-load !

ask your main dealer who they recomend, they generally have a smart repair guy in a van that does the forecourt stuff and some of these guys are incredible at small repairs, whereas a body shop will paint at least a panel to make it blend in, and it will almost always be noticable on a metallic car

Got a decent price from dentec in rutherglen after recommendations on another forum, getting the bonnet done at the same time as I picked up a nasty chip right on the front edge so £600 for two doors (for blending) and bonnet. Not too bad a price all things considered, I'd rather pay a touch more to ensure its back to perfect.

I'd second Stuart Roden motors.  Always does a top job.  Alan.
