Car body repairs for Salfords drivers

Salfords is on the A23 about 4.8 miles from our Smallfield workshop. The drive takes about 11 minutes by country lanes, depending on traffic.

Salfords is a village on the A23 London to Brighton road, in the borough of Reigate and Banstead, about three miles south of Redhill. It has a railway station, a primary school and a mix of shops and cafes, and the A23 runs through it.

We are about 4.8 miles from Salfords, in Smallfield, and the drive takes about 11 minutes. It is a short run, but on lanes it is never quite as quick as the mileage looks, so leave a little margin if you have somewhere to be afterwards.

How to get here from Salfords

The map does not use the A23 for this trip. It sends you out via Southern Avenue and then a string of country lanes: Honeycrock Lane, Axes Lane, New House Lane, Hathersham Lane and Weatherhill Road, before you reach Redehall Road. These are country lanes, so expect a slower trip if a farm vehicle is ahead. If you know a better way from your end of Salfords, use it, and ring us if you get lost.

Station car park scrapes and other small knocks

When a car is left in a station car park or on a busy road, minor damage tends to come from other people: a door edge on your wing, a trolley mark, a bumper corner pressed against a bollard when someone else reversed. We cannot say that happens more in Salfords than anywhere else, but it is a common story with parked cars, and most of it can be fixed without much trouble.

  • A bumper that is scuffed, cracked or pushed in: bumper repair.
  • Alloys scraped on the kerb: alloy wheel refurbishment.
  • Panels that need repainting and matching: car respray.
  • Damage caused by another driver where you want to claim: accident repair.
