Car body repairs near Newchapel

Newchapel is a large hamlet on the A22 between Godstone and East Grinstead, in the parish of Horne in Surrey. Its post town is Lingfield. It is better known for the London England Temple and the British Wildlife Centre than for anything to do with cars, and it is small, so we will not pretend there is a crowd of drivers waiting on us.

What we can say is simple. We are about 4 miles away, in Smallfield, and the drive takes about 8 minutes.

How to get here from Newchapel

The route the map picks runs along the B2037 and then the B2028 before the last turn into Redehall Road, which is where the workshop is. You do not need the motorway at any point. If you come in from the A22 side you will cross some quiet country roads, and a tractor or a school run can add a few minutes. We would call it an easy trip, but give yourself a little spare time if you have an appointment.

Look for Unit 6, 100 Redehall Road. Phone ahead if it is your first visit and we will tell you where to park.

Is it worth the drive for a small repair?

That depends on the damage, and we would sooner tell you honestly than take on a job that is not worth your time. Some repairs are quick: a paintless dent that has not broken the paint, a scuff on the corner of a bumper, a headlight that has gone cloudy. Others need the car to stay with us while paint and filler go on and cure in the spray booth.

• For a dent with the paint unbroken, read about SMART repair.
• For a cracked or split bumper, see bumper repair.
• For repainting a panel and matching it to the rest of the car, see car respray.
• For a bigger knock that may involve the insurer, see accident repair.

What do I send you for a price?

Send photos on WhatsApp to 07724 146 809. A wide shot of the panel and two close-ups are usually enough. Add what make and model it is and roughly where on the car the damage sits. For simple jobs we answer with a price from the photos. For anything less clear we ask to see it in person, because a photo can hide a lot.

The quote is free and there is no obligation.
