Silvester Crash Repair, Guildford
Silvester Crash Repair is a crash repair centre in Guildford handling everything from a kerbed corner to a full structural rebuild. We work directly with every major insurer, quote free of charge, and can usually get a car booked in within a few days. Most cosmetic crash damage is back with the customer in two to four working days; larger structural jobs take longer once parts are confirmed. Repairs are carried out to BS 10125 standards with a written warranty on paint and workmanship. Call 01483 237001 or send photos and we will tell you what the damage means before you commit to anything.
After a collision the first question is nearly always the same: is the car repairable, and who pays. We answer both before any work starts. Send photos of the damage, or bring the car to our Guildford workshop, and we will give you a straight assessment of the repair and whether it is worth going through insurance or paying privately.
We cover Guildford, Godalming, Farnham, Aldershot and Cranleigh, and can collect from home or work anywhere in Surrey.
