Yes. We carry out accident and insurance repair work and can liaise with your insurance company to help keep the process straightforward. Our team repairs bodywork, panels, bumpers and paint finish to a high standard, with updates throughout so you know how your repair is progressing.

We help drivers across Suffolk, including Woodbridge, Ipswich, Martlesham, Felixstowe, Kesgrave and nearby villages. Whether you need a local dent repair, a full respray or insurance work after an accident, both of our workshops are set up to support customers across the county.

The right method depends on the type and extent of damage. For localised chips and scratches, we often use spot repair: preparing the area and repainting to blend with the surrounding finish. Where damage covers a larger area, the panel may need a full repaint. Minor dents and dings can sometimes be corrected with paintless dent repair (PDR), reshaping the metal without disturbing the paint. We also carry out bumper repairs, colour matching and full paintwork restoration in our spray facilities.

Repair times vary depending on the damage, parts availability and the type of work required. Minor dent or scratch repairs may be completed relatively quickly, while insurance jobs, panel replacement or full resprays can take longer. We confirm expected timeframes when we quote and keep you informed if anything changes during the repair.
