Minor Repairs


We've all had them: those heart-sinking moments when we first see the damage. Whether it's the scratch that appeared in the supermarket car park, the dent from that stray golf ball or the result of a bigger accident, our experienced technicians are able to repair any imperfection on your vehicle. Below are examples of the minor repair work that our Group 1 Cosmetic dealerships can undertake quickly and efficiently with minimal expense.

Alloy Wheels - Small scuffs and scratches to your alloy wheels can often be repaired and may not require a replacement wheel.

Dent Removal - Small dents to your vehicle caused by car doors and shopping trolleys can be easily repaired. The Paintless Dent Removal system 'massages' the dent out to prevent unnecessary re-spray costs.

Scratch Repair - Scratches to the paintwork can spoil the appearance of your vehicle. Using advanced technology and paint application, we can help restore your vehicle back to new.

Glass Repair -  Saving you time and money even if it's minor, stone chip damage to your windscreen is more than just a distraction, we can normally repair your windscreen within half an hour.
