Car body repairs in Smallfield, near Horley and Crawley
Dents, scratches, cracked bumpers, scuffed wings and accident damage. We repair cars and light vans at our workshop in Smallfield.
We repair body damage on cars and light vans: dents, scratches, bumpers, wings, doors, resprays and accident damage. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you what it needs and what it will cost.
Body work is anything that has changed the shape or the paint of your car. A car park knock. A shopping trolley dent. A bumper that has cracked on a kerb. A wing that has been scraped along a wall.
We look at each job on its own. Some damage only needs a polish. Some needs a dent pulled, a little filler and a respray. A few panels are better replaced, and if that is the case we will say so and explain why before we start.
The paint is mixed to suit your car and sprayed in our spray booth, so it goes on clean, without dust in it.

Questions people ask
Can you give me a price from a photo?
Often, yes. A photo from a step back and a close-up of the damage helps most. Some damage hides more underneath. If we need to see the car, we will say so before you make the trip.
Do you repair vans as well as cars?
Yes. We work on cars and light commercial vans, for private owners and for fleets. See our van bodywork page.
Do you do insurance repairs?
Yes. We carry out accident and insurance repairs. Tell us who you are insured with when you get in touch and we will talk you through it. More on our accident repair page.

Plain answers to the questions we hear most.
How does a body shop repair actually work?
A typical repair goes in a set order: assess the damage, take parts off, repair the panel, prepare and prime it, paint it in a booth, polish, refit and check.

Do I need a respray, or just a repair?
Most damage does not need a full respray.
Read the answer
What should a car repair quote include?
A good written quote lists each panel or part, the labour, the paint, any parts to be fitted and VAT, and says what happens if more damage is found.
