Repairing what you see, and what you don't

A collision can bend brackets, crack mountings and push panels out of line behind a bumper that looks only scuffed. If that hidden damage isn’t found, the car can look repaired but not fit, seal or protect you properly. That’s why our car accident repair work starts with a thorough inspection, not a quick glance.

We check the visible damage and what sits behind it, explain what we find and give you a written quote. If more damage is uncovered once panels come off, we’ll tell you before doing any extra work. If the accident wasn’t your fault, we can prepare the estimate for your insurer and explain your options.

What we check

Visible damage and hidden damage

Damage you can see

What most people notice first:

  • Dented or creased panels Doors, wings, bonnet, boot lid.
  • Cracked or pushed-in bumpers Front or rear, often with scuffs.
  • Broken lights and trim Headlights, tail lights, grilles, mirrors.
  • Scratched and chipped paint Where panels or bumpers have scraped.

Damage we look for

What a proper inspection uncovers:

  • Bent brackets and crash bars The parts behind the bumper that absorb an impact.
  • Damaged mounting points Which stop panels and lights sitting correctly.
  • Uneven panel gaps A sign something has moved out of line.
  • Sensors and cameras Parking and driver-assist sensors that may need checking.

How it works

How we repair accident damage

01

Inspect the car

We look at all the damage, check the car is safe and take photos for your records or insurer.

02

Strip and assess

Damaged parts are removed so we can find hidden damage. If there’s more, we tell you first.

03

Repair or replace

Panels are repaired or replaced, and brackets, lights and trim are renewed where needed.

04

Paint, refit and check

We paint and blend, refit everything and check panel gaps, lights and sensors before you collect.

Repair costs

How much does car accident repair cost?

Collision repair costs depend on the impact and on parts. A low-speed bump that cracks a bumper is a very different job from a side impact across two doors. We give you a written quote after a free inspection, and an updated quote if hidden damage is found.

Where the car was hit

Front repairs often involve lights, grilles, sensors and cooling parts.

Hidden damage

Brackets, mountings and crash bars add to the visible repair.

Parts needed

New lights, bumpers or panels cost more than repairing existing ones.

Paint and blending

More panels painted means more preparation and blending.

FAQs

Collision repair questions

Straight answers about accident repair costs, hidden damage and insurance.

It depends on where the car was hit, how much hidden damage there is and which parts need replacing. We inspect the car for free and give you a written quote, then update it if more damage is found once panels are removed.

Hidden damage is damage behind the panels you can see, such as bent brackets, a damaged crash bar, broken mounting points or panels pushed out of line. It’s common after a collision and is why we strip and check the damaged area before finishing a quote.

If warning lights are on, lights or mirrors are broken, a wheel looks out of line, or anything is leaking or rubbing, do not drive it. Call us for advice first.

Yes. We prepare a photo-backed repair estimate for your insurer and liaise with them over the repair. If the accident wasn’t your fault, we’ll explain how a claim against the other driver’s insurer works.

In most cases you can ask for your car to be repaired at a body shop of your choice. Check your policy for any terms on courtesy cars or the excess, or ask your insurer.

Minor collision repairs are quicker than repairs that need several new parts. Parts availability is often the biggest factor. We give you a time estimate with your quote and keep you updated.

Yes. We refit and check parking sensors after a repair. If your car has driver-assist sensors or cameras in the bumper or windscreen area, we’ll tell you if they need checking or calibrating.

Yes. Low-speed knocks often crack bumpers and brackets even when the damage looks small. We repair them the same way, with a proper check behind the bumper.
