From Solihull to Wyken
From Solihull (B91), about 14 miles away in a straight line, the drive to our Wyken workshop is 18 to 23 miles, depending on the route. The time your car needs with us matters as much as the drive.
Six months of workmanship cover
Our workmanship guarantee lasts six months from the day you collect your car. Paint is mixed to the manufacturer's paint code and sprayed in our spray booth.
For a first idea of cost, the vehicle repair estimator works from the damaged panels, the car type and the paint type. A quick inspection here is free, and work starts only once you agree a written, itemised estimate.
Allow for the repair as well as the journey
A small job can sometimes be completed the same day, although you should allow one to two days. Larger repairs take longer. When looking at repair dates, separate the driving time from the time needed for the work itself. A journey of roughly half an hour does not tell you when the car will be ready.
Two approaches from Solihull
- Using the M6: roughly 23 miles, with a driving time of about 30 minutes when there is no traffic.
- Using the A45: roughly 18 miles, taking about 32 minutes in traffic-free conditions.
Both assume a clear run; allow longer at busy times. The A45 way crosses the city on the ring road and Foleshill Road; the M6 way leaves at Ansty Interchange.
National Highways is rebuilding the A46 Walsgrave junction, with construction scheduled from autumn 2026 and opening planned for 2028. Overnight road closures and traffic management may affect the motorway approach, so check National Highways' junction works information before setting off.
The workshop is at Star Industrial Park, Wyken (CV2 5DB); if you know University Hospital Coventry, it is close by.
