Hi all, two things:
I have a rather nasty dent in the rear passenger quarter panel, just above the tail light. Looks like the back of a ute collided it. This happened to the previous owner so this isn't an insurance issue (unfortunately). So I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with mobile panel repair in Canberra. It looks like it will just pop out with the right tools and know-how (although, I am not really in a position to judge).
My second question is who is a good panel beater/painter to go to in Canberra as the paintwork is VERY tired on my poor Soarer and it is crying out for a new lick of paint. The bonnet is quite faded, some scratches down both sides, lots of stone chips up the front and some more fade on the boot.

Thanks for reading!

Everyone knows Farrugia is good but you wait a month and pay. I recommend the place next door to Farrugia, Auto Body Care. I have used both after people have driven in to me, and have been very happy each time (with the repair that is, not the damage).

At Auto Body Care you could mention my name as someone who recommended them to you. That way, you might get a wan smile before he hands over the price he first thought of.
