    Careful of these guys. Got a quote for them to fix up a scratch for 230 which would be painting the entire rear panel and touching up a top panel

    came back and my car was on the road with the windows down and the keys in the ignition with no one in sight. Claimed they had just left it out there!

    then proceeded to say it would be 250 + VAT as he had to do more. By more he tried to convince me that the rear was actually panel was actually two panels even though there is no visible split. Obviously just one. Came back down to the 230 + VAT. He had never mentioned the VAT before which he has to legally. Anyhow ended up paying 261.05 which was more expensive than all my other quotes and can't believe he tried the two panel trick
    Just be careful if you are going to him and get a written quote

    that would be good practice for any bigger job you want to get done.

    At the end of the day you paid what you were quoted plus VAT, so I don't think you were that hard done by.
