Accident Repair
Our accident repair service addresses all collision damage using manufacturer-approved techniques and equipment. Technicians with IMI accreditation perform structural repairs, panel replacement, and precision paint matching. We coordinate directly with insurance providers to streamline claims processing while maintaining strict quality control through BS 10125-certified procedures.
Alloy Wheel Repair
Specialist alloy wheel repair restores damaged rims to original condition through diamond-cutting, welding, and powder coating. Our technicians address kerbing, cracks, and corrosion while maintaining precise tolerances. The process includes protective lacquering to prevent future damage, with colour-matching available for custom finishes.
Parking Sensors
Professional parking sensor installation enhances vehicle safety with ultrasonic and electromagnetic detection systems. Our certified technicians integrate sensors with existing electronics, ensuring accurate obstacle detection and seamless dashboard integration. Post-installation calibration guarantees optimal performance in various driving conditions.
Paintless Dent Removal
Paintless dent removal specialists eliminate bodywork imperfections without repainting. Using specialised tools, technicians manipulate metal back to its original shape, preserving factory paint finishes. This method works best for minor dents and hail damage, offering faster turnaround than conventional repair methods.
Air Conditioning
Comprehensive air conditioning servicing includes refrigerant recharging, system diagnostics, and cabin filter replacement. Our technicians use manufacturer-specific equipment to restore optimal cooling performance and air quality. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and ensures compliance with environmental regulations through proper refrigerant handling.
