Body shop

Postby mikeceleb » Thu Feb 11, 2016 6:55 pm

Can anyone recommend a body shop in west London or north Surrey area that is familiar with Jaguars.

I have the a small amount of surface rust along the tops of both doors just below the stainless window strip, which spoils an immaculate XJS Celebration.

Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

mikeceleb,

I don't know of anyone in that area but just thought I would mention one thing:

Those weatherstrips are a pain to replace as they are riveted into place. If you can get new ones from Jaguar, then definitely have them fitted whilst you're getting the bodywork done.

Good luck

Hi mikeceleb

I used JC Autos in Shepperton for some work on my Celebration a few years back and was very pleased with his work. He had an XJS himself at the time. He's a bit of a 1 man band (John if I recall correctly), so may take a while to get booked in. 01932 567733.

Cheers
