Had a Car Accident That Was Not Your Fault?
We work alongside an accident management company that specialises in non-fault accidents. If you are involved in an accident that is not your fault, they deal with the claim for you, saving your excess and protecting your no-claims bonus. They also provide a replacement vehicle for the duration of the repair.
You do not have to use the insurance company’s approved repairer. You have the legal right to choose where your car is repaired. Call us and we will take care of it.

How much does bodywork cost to repair?
+
It depends on the damage. Small scratches and scuffs can often be repaired for less than your insurance excess. Larger jobs like panel work or a full respray cost more. We quote every job individually. Give us a call or send us a few photos and we will come back to you with an honest price.
What can a car body shop fix?
+
We repair accident damage, scratches, scuffs, stone chips, dents, panel damage and paint damage. We also carry out full resprays on cars, vans and motorhomes. If you are not sure whether the damage on your vehicle can be repaired, give us a call and we will talk it through.
Can you fix deep car scratches?
+
Yes. We repair deep scratches, surface scratches, stone chips and general paint damage. Every repair is colour matched and mixed in our own paint room on site, so the repair blends with the rest of the vehicle.
Can I choose my own body repair shop after an accident?
+
Yes. You have the legal right to choose where your car is repaired. You do not have to use the garage your insurance company suggests. We work with an accident management company who can handle the full claim for you, saving your excess and protecting your no-claims bonus.
Do you repair motorhomes?
+
Yes. We are one of very few bodyshops in Derbyshire with a workshop large enough to take on motorhomes. We carry out panel repairs, heat damage repair and full resprays. If your motorhome needs bodywork, give us a call and we will arrange a time to take a look.

“Martin and team fixed some scratches on the rear bumper of my car, they did a great job. You’d never know they were even there. Really impressed with how good it looks, would highly recommend.”
