    Accident Repair

    Excellent repair work done to my car

    Mark was extremely helpful and very prompt in responding to my query and providing a quote to do the repairs I needed toy car after someone donated and scraped the rear side of my car. Date arranged and work completed. Very happy with the work that Mark has done for me. Thank you so much.

    Vehicle / Car Body Repair

    Posted 18 June

    Absolutely Reliable

    Mark came to do my car repair at my home. This was a huge bonus for me as I didn't have to concern myself with delivery and collection of my car. Also it meant my car was unavailable for me to drive for the least possible time. He came on the day we had agreed upon and at the time he said he would. He was polite and friendly. When he had finished with the car body repair, the work was so good, I honestly could not see where the damage had been.

    1st class repair

    After I sent photos of the damaged area, a quote was given. An appointment arranged and the repair carried out to my complete satisfaction. Price charged was as per quote. I have used Mark before and the work carried out has always been 1st class and as per quotes

    Vehicle / Car Body Repair

    Repair and repaint

    Mark was very kind and professional. Communications were clear and the quote was very very reasonable. Mark was able to book the work fairly quickly and arrived on time on the day. It took just under 6 hours to complete the work. The work it self is phenomenal! It’s like I never dented the car in the first place. Highly recommend!

    Vehicle Paint Spraying

    Posted 11 June

    great workmanship

    This is the second time I have had work done by Southern Autokraft. Two cars that needed paintwork, one a front wing and my current car a complete rear bumper respray. Both times the standard of workmanship was superb and lasting. Mark arrived on time and worked until finished to a high standard. Also kept me informed of the work being carried out. I am highly satisfied with finish as I was before. Also very tidy when all done. If you want conscientious workmanship look no further. Thanks for another great job!

Annoying scuff or dent to the body of your pride and joy? Can't be bothered with the aggravation of visiting many bodyshops to get the cheapest quote? Then call us at Southern Autokraft for a no obligation free quote today.

Our Services

• dent repair/removal

  • bumper scuffs/dents/cracks
  • Accident repair (Minor)
  • panel scuffs/dents/scratches
  • alloy wheels (painted only)
  • machine polishing

The vast majority of Southern Autokraft's repairs cost less than the average insurance excess and due to our substantially lower overheads in comparison to that of a bodyshop's, and that we are not a VAT registered company, we can knock £££££'s off the cost of the repair plus we will come to you at your home or workplace** (access to mains power required). Add to that the fact that our technician has 20+years experience in the vehicle re-finishing industry, has the most up to date qualifications and takes great pride in every repair, then why go anywhere else?

Don't fall into the trap that only a bodyshop can produce a high quality repair, some garages would love to regularly turn out the high standards of quality workmanship we produce at Southern Autokraft. All repairs are carried out using the most modern techniques using high quality paint and materials.
