dont know what bodyshop your on about mav,
kingdom coachworks is just down from the hospital really,if you cum out the hospital car park turn left,and at the first mini roundabout take another left.
drive up hill till you come to a tunnell and the bodyshop is tucked in a wee enclosure after the tunnell and before the traffic lights. Its quite hidden away so get looking as soon as you spy a tunnell and traffic lights.

is it scott gibson's you went to mav?
the the name of the place in smeaton industrial estate, its the second 'big pig shed' in from the left on that road, white sign with blue writing.
also in there is smeaton coachworks, not heard anythin bout them but i know scott gibson is good.
my pal Smudge with the caribic blue corsa put his car in Kingdom coachworks to get fixed this week and i think there pretty good too.
my friends dad own Glenrothes coachworks but i think they mostly do insurance work and would be pretty expensive, worth a try though just to get quotes.
