Two motorway options from Daventry
The drive from Daventry to our Coventry workshop is about 20 miles via the M45, or about 26 miles using the M1 and M6. For drivers setting off from this West Northamptonshire town in NN11, those road distances are more useful for planning than the straight-line distance of roughly 16 miles.
- M45 journey: roughly 29 minutes without traffic, covering about 20 miles. Allow extra time when roads are busy.
- M1 and M6 journey: roughly 34 minutes in free-flow conditions over about 26 miles. Traffic can extend that journey too.
Both routes end at Star Industrial Park, Bodmin Road, in Wyken (CV2 5DB), close to University Hospital Coventry.
National Highways is rebuilding the A46 Walsgrave junction, with construction scheduled from autumn 2026 and opening planned for 2028. Overnight road closures and traffic restrictions can affect the approaches used by both journeys, so check the National Highways travel updates before setting off.
Start with the damage while you are in Daventry
A journey of this length makes it useful to share pictures first. To discuss the damage, call or WhatsApp +44 7903 105777. Photos reach us through WhatsApp; the Send enquiry button is the other way to submit them. Pictures provide an initial look, but cannot reveal everything about the damage.
You can also use our repair estimator before weighing up the trip. It gives an instant estimate based on the panels affected, the kind of car and its paint type. It is an estimate, not a quote.
Small jobs are sometimes finished the same day, but allow one to two days and longer for bigger repairs. Plan the trip back to Daventry with that in mind.
Then pick a repair date.
