How car body repair works, from photo to collection

All you have to do is photograph the damage and send it with the make, model and colour: we take care of the rest.

No chargeto price it
  1. Send us a photo

    Two or three photos of the damage, one close and one from a few steps back, with the make, model and colour and your postcode.

    A phone picture in a car park is fine, and most of the ones we get are.

  2. We come back with a price

    The figure covers the panel work, the paint and the labour.

    If we need to see the car in person we say so, and there is no charge either way.

  3. Book it in

    We agree a day and you drop the car at Unit 21, Charity Farm Estate, Chattisham. We are open from 8am on weekdays.

    Ring before you set off so someone is free to see you.

  4. Collect it

    Before you drive off we show you the finished panel next to the original paint, so you can check the colour for yourself in daylight.

What that looks like on a car

Take a red coupe in for a respray. It is masked up, the old paint is taken back to primer where it has gone, then the whole car is painted in its own red and left to cure.
