Default bodyshop/mobile repairs in essex

Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop or mobile repair service in or around Essex?
My new to me car has been on the receiving end of someone not paying attention while in a car park, has a scuff on the front right corner Not happy to say the least!! Whoever did it hit the car hard enough the bumper was popped out on the other side so they must have felt it and chose to ignore it

Now the paint repair service insurance the dealer offered me sounds more attractive, sadly its to late to take that out

So if anyone has any recommendations, or warnings of places not to go to, that would be useful. Would rather pay a bit more for a place to do it properly and have a repair that will shine like the rest of the car rather than be dull and fade/fail after a year. Thanks!

Default Bodyshop Essex

The only outfit that I have personal experience of in the area is Solus Accident Repair Centre on the Birchanger Industrial estate just over the border into Hertfordshire (outskirts of Bishops Stortford) Tel: 01279 713700. They did an insurance repair on my wife's Astra (new rear bumper and paint to match) and I thought the workmanship to be first class. Still looks like new over a year later. They may not be cheap, though - I didn't see the bill as the other guy's insurers paid! I also recall Rick-Sta on here (also Essex based) recommended a mobile repairer recently so may be worth a pm to him.
