Car body repairs for Charlwood drivers

Charlwood is a village in the Mole Valley district of Surrey, just north-west of Gatwick Airport, with Horley close by on its east side. It is a village of a couple of thousand people, spread over fields and lanes, and it is not a place with a body shop on every corner. We are not in Charlwood. We are about 7.8 miles away, in Smallfield, and the drive takes about 15 minutes.

How to get here from Charlwood

The route the map gives us goes through Horley. From the village you head east towards Horley, then out of the town on the road towards Smallfield, and Redehall Road is the last stretch. The route runs near the airport's northern edge, so the time can stretch at busy hours. Treat 15 minutes as a normal drive with a clear road, not a promise.

We are at Unit 6, 100 Redehall Road, Smallfield. If you would rather not make the trip with a damaged car, ring us first and ask about collection and delivery in nearby areas. We can tell you whether Charlwood is within reach once we know the job.

What we see from villages like this

Lanes with high hedges and narrow verges are hard on cars. Wing mirrors get knocked, door edges get scraped by a passing van, and a wheel catches a kerb on a tight bend. None of that is special to Charlwood, but it is the sort of damage a country village produces, and it is usually fixable without a lot of fuss.

• A scuffed or cracked bumper corner: see our bumper repair page.
• A long scratch along a door or wing: see scratch repairs.
• A kerbed alloy: see alloy wheel refurbishment.
• A small dent with the paint still intact: see dent repair.

Can I get a price without bringing the car in?

Yes, for most small jobs. Take a few photos of the damage in daylight, one from a step back and one close up, and send them on WhatsApp to 07724 146 809. We reply with a price from the photos where we can. For some damage we cannot tell from a picture whether there is a bent bracket behind a bumper or a crack hidden under the paint, and we will say so and ask you to bring it in so we can look.

The quote is free, with no obligation and no pressure. If you decide to go elsewhere, that is fine.
