Beardymatt has a very good reputation on the zone, he's in Sheffield.

What makes you say that?

Not sure Matt comes on here any more, but I'm sure there is somebody on here that's having some work done by him?

I was under the impression that my mini resto that he did a couple of years ago was his last job for various reasons and he had gone back to working for VW or someone similar. I could be wrong though.

Have searched and it does say he's not self employed.

If you're willing to travel, I'm in Mansfield and a very good friend runs his own bodyshop.

I have rang and rang and pm'd Matt a number of times as I wanted him to do my roof but never had a reply, he doesn't work were he used to anymore but think I heard he works at Sheffield Vauxhall although I think he was doing some work on the henna M3 topless had 6months ago or so.

I've just had some work done by Retford auto finishers, not the cheapest but I'm pleased with what they have just done for me.

Chesterfield is closer so try Matt @ BodyMotorWorks, Coney Green nr Clay Cross.
He is ex BMW Stratstone
tel 07950 339 822

He has done a very good job on our e30 325i Sport.

You could also do worse than speaking to Jim - Bodyshop manager @ Sytner Sheffield tel 01142 755 077
