There's no need to take your vehicle to a garage if the damage is suitable for mobile repair. The work can be carried out at your home, workplace or another appropriate location. You'll need enough space for the job to be completed safely, ideally with off-road parking. Some repairs also require access to electricity, so it's helpful to mention your parking arrangements when enquiring.

The price depends on the size of the affected area, the type of damage and the work needed to put it right. Sending photographs allows us to assess the problem and prepare a quotation based on your vehicle's condition. You'll be able to discuss the recommended approach and understand the likely cost before deciding whether to go ahead.

Many smaller cosmetic repairs can be completed within a few hours, although more involved damage may take longer. The duration depends on the preparation, repair method and finishing required. We'll discuss the expected timescale before hand so you can plan your day. Your vehicle can normally be used after completion, although freshly applied paint needs appropriate aftercare.

If your vehicle has had paintwork carried out, avoid washing it for at least 24 hours after the repair. Freshly refinished areas may need additional care depending on the work completed. You'll receive relevant aftercare advice before the job is finished, including any precautions worth taking to help maintain the appearance of the repaired surface.
