10/10 service from Mark at Southern Autokraft. Great communication throughout, punctual, friendly, and most importantly, the quality of the work was faultless. Pricing was very reasonable for the standard of work carried out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark and will definitely use Southern Autokraft again in the future.Job location: SO2110 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: SO3210 Vehicle / Car Body Repair

Attentive, polite and effective.
The service I received from Autokraft was excellent. Once I submitted my enquiry, I was quickly given a response. Autokraft were attentive to my emails and it was very easy to negotiate a time and date to get my car bodywork booked in. Autokraft kept me up to date on the time of arrival and arrived on time. I was given a polite and respectful service which I really appreciated. Autokraft worked quickly and efficiently. The completed job was to the highest standard. All equipment was cleared away once the job was complete. Thank youVerified reviewerJob location: SO50RKatherine P10 Accident Repair

Takes the time to get a good result.
Did a fantastic job of repairing my scraped passenger door and wing. Arrived on time and got to work straight away on the prep work, including making enquiries to verify the correct paint code to get an exact match. Worked through for 5 hours to get the best finish. Would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: SO19Response from Southern Autokraft

Highly Recommended
I’ve used Mark at Southern Autokraft for many years. He’s worked on various scrapes and bumps on my BMWs and Mercedes and always makes them disappear. His workmanship is consistently exceptional — professional, meticulous and reliable — and the results are always first‑class. Excellent value for money and a business you can trust.Verified reviewerJob location: SO16Response from Southern Autokraft

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.
