Public evidence profile
How this score is made up
Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Paling & May repaired the rear quarter of my VW van. The work affected several panels, including replacement of a sliding door. The team were fantastic, really helpful advice, they stuck to their initial estimated cost, the workmanship is first class and they were able to accommodate some challenging timescales. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Andy and team fixed my car. Second time using Paling and May, excellent service as always, kept updated and vehicle fix was completed efficiently and to the agreed timeline. Would be happy to use the service again.
These people were truly professional and helpful throughout the process from assessing work to be done, giving a quote and work undertaken. Such nice people to deal with. Can't fault them in any way 10/10. Would highly recommend them.
