Sixty miles. That is roughly the round trip from Lichfield to our workshop and back, so it pays to know what the damage involves before you commit to the drive.
Thirty miles each way
Lichfield is a Staffordshire city in the WS13 postcode area, about 24 miles from us as the crow flies. By road it is closer to 30 miles each way, mostly on the A38, the M6 Toll and the M42. With no traffic the drive takes around 38 minutes; at peak times it will take longer.
The workshop is at Star Industrial Park in Wyken, east Coventry (CV2 5DB).
The final stretch uses the B4082. National Highways is rebuilding the A46 Walsgrave junction, with work from autumn 2026 and the new junction due in 2028, and the work brings traffic management and overnight closures on the A46 or the B4082. Look at the Walsgrave scheme details before you set off.
Photos and a figure while the car is still at home
Call or WhatsApp +44 7903 105777 while the car is still in Lichfield. Photos reach us by WhatsApp or through the Send enquiry button on this page. They give us a first look. Pictures cannot show everything, so the free quick inspection at the workshop still matters, but they help you decide whether the trip makes sense.
The online repair estimator adds a number to weigh against the mileage: choose the panels affected, your vehicle type and its paint type for an instant estimate.
Small jobs are sometimes finished the same day, but plan for one to two days, and longer for bigger repairs. From Lichfield that means working out how you will get home and back again before you leave the car with us.
When you are ready, pick a repair date that leaves room for the journey as well as the work.
