Out on the droves and the long straight fen roads it is dropped wheels, kerbed rims and sill damage from soft unmarked verges. In the city it is the reverse: tight historic streets around the cathedral and narrow bays at Barton Road and Ship Lane, where wing mirrors, bumper corners and alloys take the punishment.
Wheels, dents, bumpers and paint are all quoted from your photographs by a team with 22 years in the trade. You will always get an honest opinion, and if a job is not worth spending money on we will say so.
Wheel work is priced on how many wheels come in and how far the kerbing has gone, because a light scuff along the rim edge is a different job to damage that has bitten into the face. Dents are easier to judge. While the paint is intact the metal can be worked back from behind and the factory finish stays on the car, which is always the cheaper route. Once the paint has cracked it becomes a paint repair. The quote is free and there is no obligation.
Your paint code sits on a label in the door jamb or under the bonnet, never in the VIN, and it is where a colour match starts rather than where it ends.
All work is carried out at our Bury St Edmunds workshop. Paintwork is done in our spray booth, where temperature, airflow and moisture are controlled, which allows us to achieve quality results.
Cracked paint rules it out immediately, because the moment the surface is broken this becomes a paint repair. So does metal stretched past the shape the press gave it, a dent sitting hard on a crease or a panel edge, and a panel with nothing behind it to reach. Where the metal is willing, no filler is used and the factory paint is left untouched, which makes it the quickest and least expensive way to take a dent out.
Ely itself, along with Littleport, Witchford, Sutton, Haddenham and Stretham, all a straightforward run onto the A142.
Soham and Fordham, which sit directly on the road to us and make the shortest trip of anyone in the area.
Prickwillow, Coveney and the droves towards Wilburton, where soft verges account for a lot of wheel and sill damage.
Ely drivers come to us down the A142 through Newmarket, and those on the Soham side are only a few minutes further from Mildenhall. If you live south of the city, the Cambridge page describes the A14 route. Every town we cover is on our areas we serve page.
