Stage 1 · Inspect
Visible damage assessed properly.
Our services, in detail
Four services for collision and cosmetic damage, all estimated in writing first.
Program 01 · Explained line by line
Estimates & insurance claims
Insurer estimates are written in abbreviations and often specify aftermarket or recycled parts without the owner noticing. We go through ours line by line, say which parts are new, aftermarket or recycled, and raise a supplement when hidden damage appears once a panel comes off.
Stage 2 · Estimate
Written, with parts type stated.
Stage 3 · Explained
Line by line, in plain terms.
Stage 4 · Supplement
If hidden damage appears, before we proceed.
Stage 1 · Strip
Damage fully exposed before committing.
Stage 2 · Measure
Alignment checked against specification.
Stage 3 · Repair
Replaced or repaired as the damage requires.
Stage 4 · Re-measure
Verified before refinishing.
Program 02 · Measured, not eyeballed
Structural & panel repair
Modern vehicles have crumple zones designed to deform in a specific way. A structural repair that looks straight but is not measured leaves a car that will not behave as designed in a second impact, which is the part nobody sees and the part that matters most.
Program 03 · Blended into the panel
Refinishing & colour matching
Paint fades, so a brand-new mix of your original colour will not match a ten-year-old panel beside it. Matching means blending into the adjacent panels, and we will tell you when that is necessary rather than painting one door and letting you discover it in daylight.
Stage 1 · Match
Mixed and tested against your panel.
Stage 2 · Preparation
Where most of the time goes.
Stage 3 · Paint
With blending into adjacent panels.
Stage 4 · Cure & polish
Given proper time, then finished.
Stage 1 · Assess
Is the paint intact and the metal unstretched.
Stage 2 · Honest answer
Including when it will not work.
Stage 3 · Work it out
From behind the panel.
Stage 4 · Check
In good light, with you.
Program 04 · Cheaper, where it works
Paintless dent removal
Where the paint is intact and the metal is not stretched, a dent can often be worked out without filler or paint — cheaper, faster, and it keeps the factory finish. We will tell you honestly when a dent is beyond it rather than attempting it and then charging for a repaint anyway.
