The car body repair process in four basic steps
We know that needing car body repairs can be stressful. That’s why we keep our process straightforward, with honest communication and quality workmanship at every stage. Here’s how we take care of your vehicle from start to finish.
Assessment
Every repair begins with a full visual and structural assessment of your vehicle. We examine all visible damage and check for any hidden issues that may need attention.
This stage is important to make sure we understand the full picture before any work begins.
We’ll also take photos, where needed, and discuss the initial findings with you.
Repair Plan
Once we’ve completed the assessment, we prepare a clear and detailed repair plan. This outlines the exact work required, any parts that need replacing, the estimated time needed, and the full cost breakdown.
We always aim to provide realistic timeframes and transparent pricing, so there are no surprises along the way.
Repair Work
Our experienced bodywork technicians get to work using the correct tools, materials, and methods for your vehicle.
This may include panel beating, filler work, paint correction, or full resprays depending on the damage.
Every repair is carried out with precision, care, and a strong focus on safety and appearance. We keep you updated throughout the process, especially if anything unexpected arises.
Completion
Before handing your car back, we carry out a final quality inspection to ensure all work meets our high standards.
We check for alignment, paint finish, and overall appearance, making sure every detail is right.
Once satisfied, we’ll walk you through the completed work, answer any questions, and make sure you’re happy before you leave.
