Accident repair

Someone went into you?

Crumpled wings, pushed-in bumpers, doors that no longer shut. We straighten, replace and paint, and we will price it from a photo before you decide whether to claim.

What we do
  1. We look at the photos and tell you whether it is a straighten, a replace, or both.
  2. Bent panels are pulled and knocked back to shape by hand. Anything past saving comes off and a new one goes on.
  3. The new metal is prepared and painted in the booth, and the colour is faded into the panels either side so the join does not show.
  4. Lights, trim and badges go back on and every gap is checked before you collect it.
Should I claim?

Worth claiming

Damage across more than one panel, a bent frame under the panels, or a car that no longer drives straight.

Worth paying yourself

A single wing, a bumper, a door that shuts but wears a crease. The bill may come in under your excess, and so no claim at all.

We tell you straight which one this looks like.

What to send us
  • Two or three photos of the damage, taken in daylight if you can.
  • The make, model and colour, or the paint code if you know it.
  • Your postcode.

What will it cost?

Was it your fault, or someone else's? Either way, send us the photos and we give you a figure you can put to the insurer, or pay yourself if it turns out smaller than your excess.

You get the number first. Then you decide.

In their words

Excellent repair done to bodywork for a very reasonable price and Sandor could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Definitely reccomend.
