IA Bodyshop - Glasgow

Hudson M.

Work done: Audi Q5 2019. New bonnet, painted with match colour, blending on the side panels and fixed smaller scruffs on front bumper.

In Short:
I would gladly recommend IA Bodyshop. absolute stellar service and execution. The google reviews are not lying.

What you get:
- Personal, welcoming service. With prompt email and phone communications, both from Imran and Aisha who runs this as a family business.
- Even if paid privately you are likely to get a courtesy car if needed.
- Stellar work and finish.
- If you have any questions during the process or after. Imran and the team will happily listen to the questions and organise a time to check after the work is done and paid for.
- Flexible pick-up and drop of the car. For myself with a challenging job I could only attend during lunch-time or Weekends (this shop is usually open Saturdays 9AM-12noon)
- Good capacity, even after the storm Eowyn their team had capacity to take on a weeks worth of work on the car within the coming 2 weeks. Although this may vary.

The longer version:
During the storm Eowyn a few large corner tiles form our house fell onto the bonnet of the car. Leaving a hole onto the bonnet and other scratches. I went and visited a few body-shops. Most would say replacing the bonnet would be the best but they can't guarantee a perfect colour match. Some even proposed a poly-fill approach which I was in doubt about for various reasons. After a fair amount of research I decided to trust the google reviews for IA Bodyshop and visited the shop over lunch-time.

One of the first thing I noticed was the variety of cars getting work done in the shop. From the latest M4 with an unique colour, to an older Porsche Carrera to your normal Ford Fiesta and plenty more. This usually gives you a bit of confidence that the team has experience with various types of paint and cars as well are trustworthy by car enthusiasts.

When there I was met by Aisha who was in the reception. She kindly attended myself and informed about the process, what to expect, how they work. I even got a little bit of history of the company and their values. Imran arrived shortly after his lunch and did an inspection together with myself. He provided a rough verbal quote on spot. It would depend on the cost of a new bonnet from Audi. He needed to check that first to provide a proper quote through email which I received not long after and not surprisingly the pricing was bang on what we verbally agreed. He also estimated the job to require 1 weeks worth of work and could start in the coming 2 weeks (This was amazing since most shops had a waiting time of 1+ months)
I mentioned I would need to check with my work to see a good time for the work to be be done.

After a few quick emails sorting out a good date to drop off the car and my preference of courtesy car and it's availability we agreed on a date to drop the car of. I then received the courtesy car and could drive home. As agreed the car was fully finished a week later when I went to pick it up I couldn't tell the difference from before the damage. The colour matching and blending was perfect. Today I forget I had a massive hole in the previous bonnet.

When I received the car Imran walked through what they had done, asked if I was happy with the job and quickly checked the courtesy car. I paid, thanked the team and was on my way. All in all, extremely happy with the result.

After 2 weeks I noticed that the passenger front windscreen washer was not working. After one email and a prompt response(on a Sunday). Imran asked me to bring the car in so they can check/fix if the issue is related to their work. And indeed it was fixed on spot. Just one loose hose in the washer system. When running a business issues will happen, but the way IA Bodyshop fixed it promptly and kept their service customer focused was amazing. Thank you!

Many thanks Imran, Aisha and the IA Bodyshop team for the great service!
I hope more garages takes your pride in your work and execution to heart. We need more of that.

I'm anal about my BMW 420D and was gutted when a metal bar/road debris took a gouge out of my bonnet on the motorway. I opted for a private repair and, after sourcing a few quotes, opted for IA Bodyshop. Reason being that I liked being able to speak to the owner (Imran) and fealt that his reputation would be reflected in his quality of work. I wasn't disappointed. After the repair the dent was nonexistent and the paint (Estoril Blue) was a perfect match. But, I'm posting this review in Jan 2025 while the repair was carried out in Aug 2024. Since then I've had the opportunity to look at the repair under different lighting conditions and I've detailed (polish & ceramic wax) the car a few times. I'm still 100% satisfied and can fully recommend Imran and his team. I've attached some photos of the before and after too. Fraser (Shawlands, Glasgow)

All in all Great experience. Repairs to car done to a very high standard. Staff took time to show and explain works carried out after car was sent in by insurance. Would not hesitate to use this repair garage again! Thanks to all the team.

Great service from IA body shop. Was being forced by my insurance company to go to their preferred repair company who had terrible reviews. Stood my ground with the help of IA body shop and so glad I did. Outstanding service , car is like new after full new door and touch up work. Communication was excellent. Would recommend and use again.

I recently had my rear bumper repaired, and I couldn't be happier with the service! Imran and his team were extremely professional from start to finish. The quality of the repair was outstanding; you'd never even know there was any damage in the first place!

What really stood out was the honest and transparent communication. Imran kept me regularly updated on the progress, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout the process. The quick turnaround was also a huge bonus; I expected to be without my car for longer, but the job was completed efficiently without compromising on quality.

If you're looking for high-quality workmanship, excellent customer service, and a team you can truly trust, I highly recommend coming here. Thank you again for the exceptional work!

Absolutely top class work and great service from start to finish.

My car was in for a colour change respray and the end result is incredible.
Not only was the car painted but it also required some fabrication/welding and some replacement panels, door handles, mirrors. Parts for this car are getting increasingly harder to source but the team done great!

Imy and Aisha were extremely friendly and helpful from the beginning. I was overwhelmed by the many variations of black paint but with help from them and some others I finally decided on one.
Very knowledgeable about what they do and always happy to answer any questions.

Highly recommend and I won't be taking my car anywhere else from now on!

Amazing service. Gave my Audi Q7 (2017) to install side steps/running board. They did the job very well. Well mannered. Staff were very friendly and polite. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I have uploaded some pictures of the work that they carried out on my Q7.

Once again, top notch service. Keep up the good service!
