Accident & insurance claims
We handle the claim from assessment to hand-over, and we deal with the assessors directly so you are not the one chasing paperwork.

What we do
Everything a car needs after a bad day, done under one roof.
In the booth
Masked, matched, sprayed
Panel beating & dent removal
Panels worked back to their original lines by hand. Replaced only where replacing is genuinely the better repair.
Spray painting
Colour matched to your car's paint code and blended into the surrounding panels, so the repair does not announce itself in daylight.
Chassis straightening
Structural damage pulled true on a jig and measured against factory tolerances. The part of the job nobody sees and everybody depends on.
Fleet repairs
Standing arrangements for company fleets, with turnaround times agreed up front and vehicles prioritised to keep you moving.
Detailing & finishing
Cut, polish, headlight restoration and mag wheel work. Every car leaves detailed, not just repaired.
Restoration
Forty years of straightening metal, and a soft spot for the old ones.

High performance
The cars nobody else will take on.
Porsche, Lancia, Ferrari, Lamborghini. Work like this has come through these doors for four decades, because the panels on a car this rare cannot be ordered in. They have to be worked back by hand.
Classics
Original where it matters.
A '59 Ford Fairlane Galaxie. A '71 Peugeot 404 wagon, still wearing its original grey interior. We work around what is worth keeping, because once the original trim is gone it does not come back.
Restoration
Nothing gets filled that should be beaten.
Slow, unglamorous work. Stripping back to bare metal, fabricating what cannot be bought, and refusing to hide a bad repair under filler where it will come back to haunt the car in five years.
How it works
Four steps, and you always know which one your car is on.
01
Assessment
Bring the car in, or we arrange the tow. We strip back far enough to see the real damage, not just the dent you can point at.
02
Quote & claim
A written quote against your paint code and parts list. If it is an insurance job, we deal with the assessor from here.
03
Repair
Structure straightened first, then panels, then paint. Nothing gets sprayed until the metal underneath is correct.
04
Finish & hand-over
Cut, polished and detailed. We walk the car with you in daylight before you take the keys.
