What is smart repair?

We use a technique called “smart repair” “Small to Medium Area Repair Technology” that originated in the states in 1990. The idea is to use specialist tools and materials to repair as small an area as possible. In using the latest materials and tools we are able to effectively repair parts that would otherwise have been replaced which means a substantial saving to you and the environment.

Can the work be done in all weather?

Having an awning on my van means I can carry out a repair in all but the worst of weather conditions.

Will the value of my car be less if I leave scuffs & scratches?

Yes if you part-exchange your car they will knock off money for any cosmetic damage. So a small amount of money spent with me could increase the resale value of your car.  Also remember if your car is leased you may be charged for damage when it goes back.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. I offer what I call a “Lifetime guarantee” which is however long you own the car my work is guaranteed. So not just a 1 or 2 year offered like some.
