We’ve got your area covered. Explore local options here:

  • What are car body repairs?

    They cover anything that fixes visible damage to your vehicle’s exterior, which includes scratches, dents, and panel replacements.

  • How much does car body repair cost?

    It depends on the damage, materials, and vehicle model.

    Small scratch repairs can cost around £90.

    Deeper repairs or dent removal can be £150-£300.

    A full respray may cost £1,000+.

  • Are car body repairs worth it?

    If the damage affects appearance, resale value or road safety, absolutely.

    Minor scratches can also lead to rust if left untreated.

  • Why are car body repairs so expensive?

    You're paying for skilled labour, colour-matching paints, specialist tools, and sometimes replacement parts. It’s detailed work that needs care to get right.

  • What’s the most expensive thing to damage on a car?

    Structural damage or respraying large areas tends to cost the most. Replacing full panels or fixing frame alignment after a crash can run into the thousands.

  • What’s the difference between a body shop and mobile repair service?

    A body shop usually handles bigger repairs in-house, like resprays or crash damage. Mobile repairers can often fix scratches, small dents and scuffed alloys at your home or workplace.

  • Is it cheaper to use a mobile body repair service?

    For minor fixes, yes, it can be. Mobile services often have lower overheads, so you could save on smaller jobs like paint touch-ups or scratch removal.
