Services
What we do
Every repair is done properly, whether it's a parking-lot ding or a full panel.
Scratch & paint touch-ups
Bumper scuffs, key scratches and stone chips, colour-matched and blended in so you can't tell where the repair was.
Resprays & panels
Single panels or full resprays, properly prepped, painted and clear-coated at the workshop for a finish that lasts.
Detailing & polishing
Machine polishing and paint correction to bring back the gloss and remove swirls, plus protection to keep it.

Questions
Good to know
Can you really fix my car at my house?
For most dents, scratches, scuffs, stone chips and polishing, yes. All Barry needs is space around the car and, ideally, some shade. Full resprays and major panel work are done at the workshop, where there's the space and time to do them properly.
How do I get a price?
Send clear photos of the damage from two or three angles, with one taken a step back so we can see the whole panel. You'll get a quote from that. Sometimes Barry will need to see the car in person before he can give a firm price, and he'll tell you if that's the case.
Why don't you list prices on the website?
Two dents that look alike can be very different jobs, depending on the panel, the paint and whether there's a crease. Instead of advertising a low "from" price that turns into something else later, Barry quotes each job properly.
Can you match my car's colour, including metallics and pearls?
Yes. Paint is mixed to your car's paint code and blended into the surrounding panels, so the repair disappears in daylight as well as in photos.
How long does a repair take?
A small dent or scuff is often done in a few hours on site. Panel resprays usually take a few days at the workshop, so the paint has time to cure properly. You'll get a timeline with your quote.
Do you do insurance work?
Many small repairs cost less than your insurance excess, so it often makes sense to pay privately and keep your no-claims record. Ask Barry about your situation and he'll give you an honest opinion.
How do I pay?
You pay once the work is finished and you're happy with it, by EFT or cash. Card payments aren't available.
