Hi,

I'm looking to get my front bumper resprayed. Has anyone any good/bad experiences of places in Oxfordshire? I've never had this sort of work done before so I'm not even sure what to look out for when I'm getting a quote done.

Any advice thankful received!

Thanks

Also interested in this!

When my car was in with Marc Purcell (very good indi), he told me that all official BMW repairs went to the unit next to him (he also used them). I don't recall the name, but this is the only 1 showing on the estate: http://www.ianhornemotorrepairs.co.uk/

Note, that Marc recently moved, so google shows him on Pony road in Cowley, this is no longer the case. He is on Horton Road, Stanton-st-John.

Best to phone Marc and enquire!

Cheers Sam. I wasn't sure what address was current for Marc. I was going to give him a go for my next service. I'll give him a call and see who he uses.

Thanks Mat. Would that be McCruddens? Looking at a map of Caterton, they seem close to the base.

Cheers
