We confirm an honest timeframe when we quote from photos—no guesswork, just a clear expectation of how long the repair will take.
For cosmetic paint damage, our scratch repair service is often the quickest solution. For smaller bonnet and front-end paint defects, our stone chip repair service can often be a more suitable cosmetic repair route. Where paint damage affects several areas of the vehicle, a car respray may be the most effective way to restore overall appearance. Alongside bodywork repairs, many customers also choose alloy wheel refurbishment to complete the overall look of the vehicle.
If your vehicle has visible impact marks or body damage, our dent repair service can help restore the panel and improve appearance.
FAQs
Can you speed up the repair?
We prioritise where we can, but paint curing time is fixed. Rushing it risks the finish. If you have a deadline, tell us upfront and we'll advise what's realistic.
Do you provide a courtesy car?
We don't have courtesy cars, but for longer bodywork repairs we can often arrange drop-off and collection by prior agreement.
Will the quote change when I bring the car in?
Our photo quotes are accurate in most cases. If we find additional damage not visible in photos, we'll contact you before proceeding.
