Whaley Bridge Accident Repair Centre lives on Buxton Road in Furness Vale, halfway between the Peak Forest Canal and the moors. The building has been a haulage yard, a mill store and a joinery in its time. Today it's a fully BS 10125 accredited accident repair centre — with a spray booth calibrated to OEM temperature curves and a dedicated bay ring-fenced for high-voltage electric vehicle work.
We're proud to be a founding member of the Solution Repair Group — a national network of independent, family-owned bodyshops that pool training, insurer relationships and OEM approvals so a village-scale workshop can deliver work to city-manufacturer standards. Phil Chopping runs the floor. Every job crosses his desk before it leaves the gate.
We take on everything from a single scuffed alloy to a full structural rebuild. Insurance work, private repairs, fleet, classics, EVs, hybrids. If it has four wheels and a bruise, we know what to do with it.

Word of mouth
“Phil and the team handled a nasty rear-end on the M60 for us. Aviva pushed their own repairer, WBARC pushed back and won. Car came back like it did leaving the showroom.”
“Booked our Model 3 in after a barrier scrape. First place I'd found in the Peak that would touch the HV pack without shipping it to Manchester. Two-day turnaround.”
“Third car we've had repaired here in ten years. They still remember our names. Impossible to find that anywhere else these days.”
