Car Body Shop Near Me: How to Choose the Right One

Searching for a car body shop near you brings up plenty of choice. These are the things that separate a good bodyshop from a risky one.

Check the accreditations

Look for BS 10125, the British Standard for vehicle damage repair, and staff trained to industry standards. It shows the bodyshop is independently audited.

Read the reviews

Every Solution Repair member must hold a customer rating of 4.8 stars or above to join the network.

Ask about the warranty

A confident bodyshop will put a written warranty on its paint and workmanship.

Electric and ADAS equipped cars

Modern cars carry cameras and radar that may need calibrating after a repair, and electric cars need trained technicians. Ask whether the bodyshop can handle both.

Courtesy cars and excess

Ask whether a courtesy car is available. On non-fault claims our members cover up to £500 of your excess.
