Car body repairs for Godstone and South Godstone

Godstone is a village in Tandridge, Surrey, with a village green and a pond at its centre. The A22 runs through it and meets the A25 in the village, and junction 6 of the M25 is just to the north. South Godstone, with its own railway station, is a little further down the A22.

We are not on that road. Smallfield is to the west and south, and the drive from Godstone is about 19 minutes, or 7.3 miles. That is a bit longer than the distance suggests, because for much of it you are on lanes.

What kind of damage do lanes cause?

Anyone who has met a car coming the other way on a narrow road knows. A wing mirror clipped. A wheel dropped against a kerb on the verge. A hedge dragged down the side of the paintwork, which leaves a long, light scratch in lines. A drive-by from a van too close to a gatepost.

We would not call this a rule, and we do not know every driveway in Godstone. But those are the repairs country drivers tend to ask about. Hedge marks and long scrapes are often a scratch repair job, and some of them polish out. Corner knocks are a bumper repair. Where the paint has gone, a section may need a respray, colour matched and blended in the spray booth.

We also work on light vans, so if the damage is on a work van, see our van bodywork page.

How to get here from Godstone

The route finder takes you off the A22 and onto small roads: Hart's Lane, Byers Lane, Brickhouse Lane and Croydonbarn Lane, then Smallfield Road, Plough Road and Redehall Road. It is a country route with few signposts, so use the postcode RH6 9RS and the satnav. We are Unit 6, number 100 Redehall Road.

Allow extra time if you are not used to country lanes.

Should I send photos before I leave?

Please do. With a 19 minute drive each way, the photos are a sensible first step. WhatsApp them to 07724 146 809. We tell you what we think, and for the simple jobs we give a price straight away. Some marks look worse than they are and some look better, so we may ask you to bring it in.

You do not have to book on the strength of a quote, and there is no charge for looking.
