 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top drawer, attention to detail and quality, with a strong customer focused disposition.  In brief, stationary car hit by a bus, Sandown recommended by the insurance assessor.

Estimate process was quick, clear, convenient and efficient.  Once approval given, car was collected within a few days (convenient for me) and the work carried out.

Upon return, and in daylight, one panel seemed slightly out on the pantone.  No quibble, the manager owned the issue and arranged for the car to be brought back to the paint-shop.  Returned within a day and the rework result as good as the original manufacturer could have achieved.

Very satisfied and pleased how smoothly it all went, thanks to a number of staff: front office; management; and the technicians.  Thank you!
