I had bumper damage on a Ford Focus repaired very professionally and at great price by Willie Horan 0872330660, has to be worth a quote, operates from road behind Fagan's pub.

Thanks to a lovely person in liffey valley carpark i now have a new deisgn on my car.


was over in trimtech today and they said they would re-spray the side of the car and they quoted me €550 for a full days work (8am - 5pm) and would have to make my own way about. have spare cars in the drive to myself so no problem there.

will be going over to Gerry Maguires to see what they say too.

my questions how much would a job like this normally cost ?

when they say they are going to respray the side are they going to fix the scratch themselfs too so their not just spraying over it ?

and do you guys have any other recommendations ?

thanks gods !

Look up the likes of dent magic and that because they do a good job and not very expensive
Oh and they come to you

Had one chips away guy come out the other day.

said he'll try as hard as possible to sand and respray sections only instead of the whole side for €350.

now to get hold of other chips away and car craft for more price checking.

Sorry for the semi-hijack

I'll need work done to the 8er (rust around windscreen/roof) and people seem reluctant to recommend paint shops.

I haven't used Dennings in ages and so don't know their work any more.

This Show me the Money place in Dublin looks good but a bit out of the way/pita for me (North Kildare)

Any other good/known places to deal with.

Will need windscreen out and roof sprayed in Mauritius Blue (287)

You pay your money, you take a chance.

For the sake of €200 on a fresh car I'd go with a bodyshop.

I'd have to have a "couple" of jobs needing repair around the car before I'd even consider going to a body shop, spending that type of money on a single scratch not a hope, not saying I'm tight, but would it not make more economical sense that way?

I'm thinking more in terms of the finish you'll get tbh.

i figured from what others say it might be too deep to use a touch up pen ?


trim tech guy said im looking at a white line now that if he just touched it up i'd be looking at a red line with a bit of a indent

Check the depth of the scratch with your fingernail. It won't be a uniform depth at any rate. if it catches hard then it is deep, if the nail slips out maybe you'd get away with some remedial work.

I'm far from an expert so I'm open to correction.

Robbie. I hope you tried Willie Horan as per previous pm. His work is top class and really specialises in that type of work, I hope it works out for you.:rolleyes:

i have to give him another call actually.

i rang them over the last few weeks but we're closed. the mother by the sounds of it answered and didnt give me anything about the guy, only the garage her hubby had.

but i will get back onto them,

as i say im just pricing around and comparing work for the moment, nothing urgent on it anyway for the moment.

saw mr. car craft today.


guy i was talking to seems like a wizard.

2 doors and bumber €450 and a promise to make it all match 100%

onwards :pac:
