    Hardings Accident Repair Centre is an accident repair centre in Luton serving Bedfordshire.

    An accident repair centre is not the same as a general garage. The difference is in the equipment and the method: measuring systems that prove the shell is straight, manufacturer-specified bonding and welding, and a paint process that matches the factory finish rather than approximating it.

    We are the accident repair centre of choice for drivers in Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Leighton Buzzard and Harpenden, and we work with every major insurer without you having to chase anyone.
