Repairs FAQ

How much will the repair cost?

If you are able to call in for a quote or submit an image of the damage alongside your vehicle registration and postcode, we can provide an accurate cost for your individual repair. Because we specialize in minor cosmetic damage, our efficient SMART repair processes cut down on traditional bodyshop labor times. This not only allows us to carry out the work at a fraction of standard costs but also reduces the likelihood that you will need to make an insurance claim.

How long will the repair take?

We pride ourselves on a quick turnaround. While timeframe depends on the extent of the damage, minor repairs may be able to be carried out the same day. Minor interior snags and damage to upholstery, leather, and trims can often be completed even faster.

When can you carry out the work?

Due to the focused nature of minor cosmetic work, we can usually take bookings with just a few days' notice (typically 3 to 4 days). You can rest assured that nasty scuff will be nipped in the bud quickly, preventing it from becoming worse or rusting.

Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

Yes. We guarantee all workmanship for 24 months or the length of any existing paint warranty on your vehicle—whichever is longer.

Can you repair my Audi or other premium brands?

Absolutely. We regularly carry out work for most main dealerships on new vehicles. The products, color-matching technology, and processes we employ meet the strict, high-quality standards required by premium manufacturers, including Audi.

Can you repair my lease car before it goes back?

Yes. With more drivers opting for lease vehicles, there is increasing demand to ensure cars are returned at the end of their term in the condition set out in the contract. We are happy to carry out end-of-lease assessments to ensure your vehicle meets your provider's requirements. If there are imperfections that fall outside the agreed fair wear and tear, we can provide a quote to rectify them—often at a fraction of the penalty charges issued by lease companies.

Can you do work for my insurance company?

We can carry out work for any insurance company if you prefer us to complete the repair. Although your insurer may have negotiated rates with their own selected repairer, their overall costs and excess impact may still not be as competitive as our direct services. However, please note that your insurer may provide a courtesy car if you use their network, which is worth considering.

Do you need to see the car in person?

We do need to assess the vehicle to provide a fully accurate cost. We are happy to provide an initial estimate from any images you send via our Quick Quote form, but this is subject to a physical inspection, as there may be underlying damage not visible in photos. We will always confirm costs before commencing any work. If undisclosed damage is found once parts are removed, we will contact you immediately to discuss any additional costs before proceeding.
