Car body repair for Cambridge drivers

Car body repair for Cambridge drivers who want the job done properly. Residents' parking, multi storey and park and ride car parks, narrow streets and cycle traffic all leave their mark, and the city runs on leased, PCP and company cars that have to go back looking right. Our workshop and spray booth are in Bury St Edmunds, just off the A11 and A14, a straightforward run out along the A14, roughly half an hour from the city depending on traffic.

What city parking does to a car

Residents' bays with inches to spare, multi storey ramps and a cyclist squeezing past on Mill Road. Door dings, mirror scuffs, bumper scrapes and kerbed alloys are the everyday damage on Cambridge cars, and almost all of it is a smart repair.

A lot of Cambridge cars are not owned outright, and every scuff is a charge waiting at the end of the agreement. We put the damage right before the inspection, so the car goes back clean.

What decides the cost of the jobs Cambridge drivers bring us

Mostly it is how far the damage has gone. A scuff in the paint on a bumper corner or a door edge is a localised smart repair, blended into the panel around it. Damage that has gone through to bare plastic or metal, or across two panels, is a bigger job. The quote is free with no obligation, and if a job is not worth spending money on we will say so.

Colour checked against your car, not just your code

Your paint code is where a colour match starts, not where it ends. We mix to the code, spray a test card, check it against your panel in daylight and blend outwards so there is no visible edge.

Smart repairs, resprays and end of lease returns

Most Cambridge jobs are small. A bumper corner, a scuffed mirror cap, a kerbed wheel or a door ding can usually be dealt with as a smart repair, where only the damaged area is repaired and blended into the panel. Where a panel is too far gone, we respray it in the booth and match it to its neighbours. If your car is leased or on PCP, we check it against the fair wear and tear standard and fix only what would be charged for.
