The Three Types of Repair Most Motorists Need
1) Scratch & Paint Repair (Smart to Panel Resprays)
Light scratches and bumper scuffs usually require localised repairs. We prepare the area, prime it, colour-match to the manufacturer code, and blend for a seamless finish. If the damage is deeper or spans a panel, we’ll respray the full panel for longevity and perfect colour continuity.
2) Bumper Scuffs & Corner Knocks
Plastic bumpers can look awful after a nudge. However, heat and reshape techniques, plus filler and paint, will bring them back to factory-fresh. If a bumper has torn mounting points or deep creases, we’ll advise on repair versus replacement with clear pricing.
3) Accident Repair
From wings and doors to quarter panels, accident damage often needs a mix of panel work, paint, and sometimes parts. We’ll photograph everything, agree on the scope, and order parts upfront so you’re not left in limbo.
Our Simple, Huddersfield-Friendly Process
Step 1 — Fast Estimate from Photos
Send a few well-lit images, and we’ll reply with a same-day guide price. If it’s complex, pop down to the workshop for a quick look — we’re at Queens Mill Business Centre, HD1 3RR. Custom Bodyworx
Step 2 — Clear, Itemised Quote
You’ll see exactly what’s included: prep, materials, paint/filler, blending, refit, and any parts. No vague lines, no surprises.
Step 3 — Repair Day(s)
We protect surrounding panels, remove trims where needed, and keep dust under control. Small bumper scuffs are often turned around in under a day; multi-panel jobs take longer. We’ll book the car for the right time window and keep you updated.
Step 4 — Quality Checks & Hand-Back
Every repair gets a visual inspection from multiple angles and under good lighting. We’ll walk you around the car before you leave and share aftercare tips so the finish stays looking fresh.
Why Paint Matching Matters (And How We Do It)
Modern automotive colours contain metallics, pearls, and complex flake patterns. We match using manufacturer paint codes and verified formulas, then adjust by eye under proper lighting. This way, blends are invisible in daylight. The goal is simple: your car looks like it never happened.
Alloy Wheel Refurbishment — Quick Win, Big Difference
Kerbed rims drag the whole car down. Depending on the finish, we’ll strip, repair, prime, and refinish in a factory-correct colour (or something special if you fancy a change). If the wheel is cracked or bent, we’ll advise on specialist repair or replacement — safety first.
Lease Return & Resale: How to Avoid Penalty Bills
Leasing inspections are ruthless on scuffs, splitters, and wheels. A pre-inspection walk-around with us can save you money at hand-back. For private sales, sorting obvious blemishes and wheels makes a huge difference to first impressions and sale price.
What Does “A Proper Job” Look Like?
Straight Panels — No ripples or sanding marks in sunlight.
Tidy Edges and Shut Lines — Trims refitted correctly; no overspray.
Consistent Colour & Gloss — Match holds up outdoors, not just under shop lights.
Transparent Paper Trail — Photos before/after and an itemised invoice you can show buyers or insurers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will My Repair Take?
A single-panel scuff is usually same-day or next-day. Multi-panel accident repairs take longer, especially if parts are needed. We’ll book realistic time and keep you posted.
Will the Colour Match My Car?
Yes — we use manufacturer codes and scanning technology, refining for batch differences so blends are invisible in daylight.
Do You Work with Insurers?
Many customers come to us first for a faster, neater finish on non-fault or minor incidents. We can provide photographs and paperwork for your records.
What About Warranties?
We stand behind our workmanship. If you spot anything you’re not happy with after collection, bring it back — we’ll make it right.
