Best KPortal Reviews

Took my car there recently to get a small dent and paintwork fixed - couldn't be happier. Guys did a fantastic job and car was ready in 2 days. Quality work and reasonable prices. Graeme and the guys all have a good banter and very easy going. Highly recommended
Took car there for three panels to be repaired. He promised me the car back by the end of the week. Delivered the job on time, on budget and excellent quality work. Kept to his word. Rare these days! Good banter with them too. Cannot fault anything.... High praise from me. I am picky too. Absolutely recommended.
I had my rear door smashed in by some tool in a van. I got a scrapyard replacement and came here for it to get painted. Excellent match and a year later the paint is still A1. Very reasonable price too, they don't totally rip you off like 99% of others places I went for a quote.
Great service from Graeme, the price for the repair of my rear bumper was very reasonable, my van was ready for collection on time and the quality of work was superb. Nice friendly bloke to deal with too, highly recommended.
Took my nissan juke for the door done and what a fantastic job very friendly and very professional
Worst experience i’ve ever had at a bodyshop, this is not a fake review or a competitor either. I got my car fully resprayed two front wings and the tear arches replaced (rust) in September 2015 and was informed it would take approximately 2 weeks maybe a bit more which was perfectly fine. My car takes a total of TWO MONTHS to complete which was agony but the car looked really good (bear in mind it was constantly dark cause of the month)
March time i notice at a glance rust bubbles beginning to appear again, this isn’t the only blemishes though as there are deep scratches under the laquer and everywhere the painter stopped the paint was peeling back off. The very bottom corners of the doors the paint had come away from water running down and the front and rear bumpers had been fit in such a way they were rubbing the panels causing rust again.
So i took it back and Graeham was very apologetic and promised to get it all fixed which i was ok with as i know problems happen. So i drop the car back off on a pre arranged day and i hear nothing from the bodyshop, two weeks pass so i decide to go in and to my horror the car hasn’t even MOVED from the spot i parked it at but is now covered in bird muck. I tell Graeham that i need my car back and he apologises again saying he’s been snowed under (nevermind the fact we PRE ARRANGED that day two weeks prior for him to start the car, NOT for it to sit there)
I take it away and wash the bird muck off to see that it’s been left on so long the paint on the roof and boot has been burned and is unsavable it’s that bad. I’ve already left my number with the shop to ring when they have a slot to sort the problems one by one but i hear nothing off them until MAY when i go back in myself. It finally goes in and is gone for ANOTHER month to get fixed, it comes out with the paint sorted but they’ve badly damaged all around the wheel nuts on my brand new alloys (took huge chunks of paint off) and until i point it out they try and slip the damage past me. He says he’ll pay to get them sprayed and will contact an alloy refurb man..... JANUARY and still nothing has been said
Now we get to today and i’ve spotted that the rust bubbles have appeared on my arches YET AGAIN but not only that he siliconed my numberplates on which has damaged the laquer and along the boot lid the laquer is coming off again.
Long story short?
THIS MAN NEVER CONTACTS YOU BACK
ALWAYS PUSHES WORK TO THE BACK OF THE QUEUE FOR WALK INS
HIS WORK IS SO SUB STANDARD THAT IT CAN’T LAST MORE THAN 6 MONTHS
SIMPLY AVOID.
I have WASTED 1600 pound on work i thought was great but turned out to be utter pig swill
Take my advice and AVOID like the plague, i have given the man so much time and understanding and he has done nothing but take the wee
Edit: he only gets one star simply cause it’s the lowest rating
Graeme did a fantastic job on our car. Would recommend him to anyone.
JUST HAD MY CAR DONE THERE AND A SUPERB JOB THEY HAVE DONE IN EVERY WAY MADE IT LIKE NEW AND I AM VERY PLEASED INDEED BY THE SERVICE GIVEN AND THE FRIENDLY MANNER GIVEN I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS REPAIRER TOP MARKS TO GDA DISTINGTON CUMBRIA , FEBRUARY 2019 5 STARS TO GDA . TOP CLASS FIRM .
