Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
Yes. Our cosmetic repairs are carried out using high-quality materials and processes designed for long-term durability. We stand behind our workmanship and will explain the specific warranty terms that apply to your repair during quotation.
Which areas do your mobile repair services cover?
We primarily cover Bristol and surrounding areas. In some cases we may be able to travel further for larger jobs or fleet work. Contact us with your postcode and we'll confirm availability and any travel considerations.
