Just a quick thanks to Bryan, Kira and the team at Balcatta Panel and Paint. I had a dent removed from my car recently that was caused by an elderly gentleman reversing into my front drivers door. When I picked up the car, I noticed some very, very minor issues with the paintjob and when I pointed it out to Bryan he immediately agreed it was not good enough and apologised that it had not been picked up. Two days later the car was ready to pick up and again and was perfect. It is great to see a firm take responsibility and pride for the quality of their work. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend

Apologies for the initial two stars! I got a notification from Google asking me for a review and I accidently opened it and must've clicked 2 stars without really thinking when rushing to close the notification!
Yes, I got a very quick and reasonably priced quote and everyone was very friendly. I would recommend you get a quote from "Balcatta Panel and Paint" if you ever need some work done!

I was recommended here by RAC to fix a moderate bump on my wheel arch and I could not be happier. The service was prompt (got my vehicle back within 4 business days) and when I asked for some paint to do some minor aesthetic touch ups on my car they gave me some willingly. Hopefully I won't have to come here again but, if I do, I highly recommend their services.
