EXCELLENT Based on 63 reviews Posted on Kenny Muir07/05/2026 I had a fantastic customer experience with Linwood Coachworks. They carried out rust repair treatment on my vehicle on the wheel arches and also sorted out a scuffed bumper to an exceptionally high standard. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding — the car looks as good as new and the finish is flawless. What really stood out was the excellent personal service. I had direct one-to-one contact with the Managing Director, Will Roberts, throughout the process, who was professional, approachable, and kept me fully updated at every stage. That level of care and attention made a real difference.
