It is impossible for us to quote a repair precisely without seeing the damage, as the work and materials involved in a repair can vary greatly from one piece of damage to the next. If you wish to send us digital photos of your damage via email, try to include one that shows the damage as close-up (while still in focus) as possible and another that is zoomed far enough out to give us an idea of the scale of the repair. We will be able to provide estimate figures in these circumstances.
We are able to provide significant cost savings over full-service bodyshops that have expensive equipment and facilities with overheads.
Any quote/estimates given will be inclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated.
No, we do not price match as prices vary considerably. You can rest be assured that our prices are very competitive based on our quality of materials, labour rates, experience and pride in workmanship.
All bookings are dependent on our availability, on average we can usually confirm a booking within a week.
Mobile Car BodyWorks use the most respected colour matching systems. We use computer-assisted mixing on-board our van. By obtaining the vehicle manufactures paint code, we can create a paint to match the panel we are painting, ensuring the best possible colour match.. We never use stock paint, which is almost never the same batch of paint that was used in painting the vehicle and is therefore visibly a slightly different colour.
Unlike many other mobile repairers, we can and do provide repairs to metallic, pearl, mica and combination effect finishes.
We can repair/respray painted colour-coded plastic bumpers. We can fix most splits and cracks by welding the plastic, avoiding the expense of a new panel, high materials costs of painting the entire new panel, labour costs of removal and refitting and the environmental costs of disposal. Repair, not replacement, saves you money!
No repair will be identical to an automotive factory finish, which is machine-sprayed to tolerances beyond human capability. Hence, no repair will ever be strictly new. We aim to provide a good quality, hand-completed ‘as good as new’ aftermarket repair. In normal circumstances, such a repair is unlikely to be detected by a casual examination of the vehicle by an untrained observer unaware of the previous damage location.
