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!Verified reviewerJob location: SO30RJayashree V10 Vehicle Paint Spraying

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!Verified reviewerJob location: SO5010 Accident Repair

10/10 service from Mark at Southern Autokraft. Great communication throughout, punctual, friendly, and most importantly, the quality of the work was faultless.

Great job at a very fair price
Mark was excellent. Arrived on time at the date agreed. Repaired some nasty bumper scratches which now look like new. I got three quotations; Mark’s was the most competitive. Will definitely use again should the need arise! Thanks very much Mark.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5110 Scratch Repair

Professional, high quality work
Mark was excellent, he was recommended by several of my friends and had done great work for them. I had damage to the front and rear passenger side bodywork as well as at the boot opening area. (BMW i4) It was very easy to message Mark with the details and arrange a visit, his communication is great and he turned up on the day with everything you could possibly need including a full enclosure for when it rained, which it did, and he was very knowledgeable about the car and any issues that might arise. The work was fantastic, I will definitely be recommending him to others.Job location: SO32

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.
