Fabulous paint job on S3
We have used Mark many times to repair our cars and he just sprayed bumper, front wing and skirt. Colour match was faultless and it was a clean and tidy job. Would highly recomend this business.Verified reviewerJob location: SO32Response from Southern Autokraft

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.

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.Verified reviewerJob location: SO3110 Garage / Vehicle Services

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.
