I've just twatted my car into the barrier on the M66 due to a big truck being right on the white line and hitting a large patch of standing water, didn't catch it quite in time.

As it didn't involve anyone else I'm hoping to just get it sorted depending on quote but would rather avoid the google tradesman lottery by seeing if anyone knew of anywhere.

Don't know if that is any help to you. You are best going round/phoning up and asking how much it would be for the panel and paint.
Depending how hard you have hit the barrier you could have fooked your door(s), front and rear quarter. Could be from £200 - £500, usually depends on the garage.

cheers, wrong end of the country!

If no one has a bodyshop they've used and can recommend then will resort to phoning around.
