Bodywork and accident repair

We have been doing bodywork since the 1990s — measurement first, hammer second.

The bodyshop was the second area we added after years of purely mechanical work. Today we repair bodies on cars whose geometry does not forgive approximation — from car park damage to serious structural work on a measuring jig.

Every significant repair starts with measurement. Only comparing control points against factory data shows what has actually moved — a car can look straight and still have a displaced floor pan.

Under a project co-financed by European Funds we introduced an electronic body damage scanner. It shortens assessment time and produces documentation that is useful both to the owner and in an insurance settlement.

Measure before repairing

Without measurement an accident repair is guesswork. We compare measuring points against factory values and show you the deviations — only then do we agree the scope and the cost.

02

The measuring jig

For structural damage the car goes onto a jig, where we straighten the body under control and verify the result as we go. It is work measured in hours, not minutes, but it is the only thing that returns a car to its pre-accident state.

03

Repair or replace

Some panels are worth repairing, others must be replaced — the damage type, material and location decide. On safety-relevant components we do not cut corners.

04

Insurance settlement

We prepare the documentation needed for a claim and work with insurers. We tell you clearly what the policy will cover and what stays on your side.

Frequently asked questions

Do you repair cars on a third party claim?

Yes. We prepare the estimate and documentation for the insurer and handle the technical side of the claim. You are entitled to choose the workshop that repairs your car — it does not have to be one nominated by the insurer.

Will the repair be visible afterwards?

With the work done properly, panel gaps return to specification and the colour is matched by blending into adjacent panels. In fairness though: some effect paints are harder to match, and we discuss that before painting.

How long does accident repair take?

From a few days for panel damage to several weeks for jig work. The biggest unknown is parts availability — on rarer models it is often the deciding factor in the timeline.
