Accident Repair Centre in Coventry

What this service covers

Accident repair work may include:

• Bumper damage, brackets and mounting alignment checks
• Panel alignment and gap correction after impact
• Dent and crease repair on doors, wings and quarter panels
• Paint repair and blending across affected areas
• Replacement of parts where repair would not be durable
• Support with insurer documentation and repair notes

If you’re not sure which method is best, we’ll explain your options and the trade-offs between speed, finish quality and long-term durability.

Cost factors

Accident repair pricing is mainly driven by scope and parts timing. Common cost factors include:

• Parts requirements and lead times (bumpers, trims, lights, brackets)
• Hidden damage discovered after strip-down (mounts, supports, clips)
• Paint blending across adjacent panels to maintain colour consistency
• Vehicle systems (sensors, trims) and careful reassembly requirements
• The number of panels affected and the repair-first vs replace decision
• Time needed for staged checks and safe reinstatement

We confirm final pricing after inspection, once method and scope are agreed.

Repair process

A controlled accident repair process reduces surprises and improves outcomes:

1. Initial assessment: We inspect visible damage, panel fit and likely hidden issues, then outline a method-driven scope.
2. Documentation & approval: Where applicable, we provide estimate notes and supporting photos for insurer or customer approval.
3. Strip-down & confirmation: If required, we remove affected parts to confirm boundaries and identify hidden damage before finalising scope.
4. Repair & refinishing: Repairs are completed with correct preparation, then refinished and blended for a consistent finish.
5. Reassembly & quality checks: We check fit, edges, finish and functional seating of trims/sensors before collection.

Customer-choice repairs and keeping the process moving

If your policy allows customer-choice repair, you can often prioritise a repairer based on communication and method quality rather than only speed. The most common delays happen when documentation is incomplete or when scope changes after strip-down without clear approval steps.

To keep things moving, share your insurer details, claim reference (if available) and your preferred contact method. Clear information early reduces back-and-forth and helps the booking schedule stay realistic.

What “good” looks like at handover

A quality repair should have consistent panel gaps, secure trims, and a finish that looks even across different light angles. Don’t only look straight-on—walk around the car and check reflections and edges.

If something feels off (a loose corner, uneven gap, visible edge line), raise it at collection. It is easier to adjust fitment immediately than to discover it later after daily use.

Turnaround time guidance

Turnaround varies widely for accident repairs because parts availability and hidden damage can affect schedule. Some bumper and single-panel jobs complete in a few working days, while multi-panel repairs can take longer.

We aim to provide milestone updates (inspection, strip-down, paint stage, reassembly) so you can plan around realistic dates rather than vague estimates.

For a fast next step, use the quote form on the homepage contact section and include photos.

Aftercare and long-term finish

After collection, follow washing guidance for any fresh paintwork. If you notice anything unusual with fit, trims or sensor seating, report it promptly so it can be checked early.

If the car is still drivable, it’s usually best to book assessment sooner rather than waiting—especially if a panel is rubbing or a bumper mount feels loose.
