Painting / Respray
Our pioneering mixing technology creates a perfect paint match. Using manufacturer paint codes to ensure that we deliver the best finish, leaving no trace of repair.
When opting for a full respray, the process can vary quite extrmeley depending on what needs addressing. Some cars are beyond a quick touch up and require a full strip, in which case we’d need to understand what budget we have to work with. On this journey there are many more considerations like new window seals, trims, clips, fixings etc.. These can add up and normally we’ll tackle this by having weekly check in’s to ensure we stay on budget. Whilst this is the most effective measure, we understand it’s not to everyones budget.
For a full rebuild and respray, we’d strip the car compeletly. In some cases we’d have to remove the engine. Normally we’d start with of removing trims and assessing the paint around the sills and other structural areas. Then we’d strip the paint (in some cases the primer), fix any damage or rust, apply any necessary filler. Then we’d beging priming the surface and applying the desired paint finish (which we’re happy to show you samples of colours if there’s something you need persuading on). Then we’d finish by polishing the vehicle to a glass finish.
The cost of a respray will depend on your budget and the level of finish you desire. Call us or better still book a no-obligation appointment and one of our re-spray experts will chat with you about the many options we offer.
Body Repair
Accident Damage
Our highly skilled repair technicians will ensure that all repairs are completed to the highest standards. We offer personilsed and competitve rates on all of our car repair services. We assess each vehicle individually, giving you a personalised quote that reflects your budget and your vehicle. If your vehilce requires collection, please phone us to discuss how we can assess your vehicle.
For small to medium areas, we class these as SMART repairs (Small, Medium Area Repair Technology). Here we use advanced repair tools with minimum impact, to ensure these areas go undedected after completed. This can be really conveinient when handing your hire car or end of lease car back! This could be from something as little as a trolly ding to scraping a bollard.
For larger areas we look at the stress of the impact and we will always let you know if your car is beyond repair. Normally once assessed and quoted we being by removing trims and assessing the body damage around the sills and other structural areas. Once we’re happy and we’d begin with beating out the panels, carefully tapping panels back into shape and filling areas that are required.
If you’re vehicle has significant accident damage, leaving bumpers, trims or panels beyond repair. We can opt to use manufacturer spec replacement parts to ensure your vehicle returns back to you in it’s original condition. However, if budget is a concern in your journey to repair your car, we will work to achieve the best results using replacement parts that suit you budget.
