Always used the same panel shop in Melbourne for over 40 yrs Was concerned that now living on the Mornington Peninsula and had an accident as to whether I should still go all the way to Melbourne or take a chance on an unknown local Decided to call into a local to get a quote, Luke a very big but quiet young man who owns the body shop was extremely helpful and assured me he could do the job , decided to take a chance on him Great decision he took my car organized the quote gave me timelines on the job and continually keep in touch with up dates as to the progress He keep every promise and the car was fixed to perfection exactly as he said it would and also when it would When I picked it up it had been washed and detailed inside Nothing was left undone and nothing was a problem to Luke I have absolutely NO hesitation in urging you to give Luke your next panel job YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, LUKE @ DIAMOND BODY WORKS RYE. VIC 3941 Thank you very much Luke I’m really glad i trusted you MAC McPHERSON
