From Tamworth, allow for 26 miles by road
As the crow flies, Tamworth (B79) is about 18 miles from our workshop. By road it is nearer 26 miles, roughly 35 minutes when traffic is light and longer at busy times.
The usual way is the A4091 and A446 to the M42, then the M6 Toll to Ansty Interchange. From there the A4600 and the B4082 Clifford Bridge Road bring you to Farren Road and Bodmin Road, where we are on Star Industrial Park (CV2 5DB), not far from University Hospital Coventry.
Work on the A46 Walsgrave junction is scheduled from autumn 2026, with opening planned for 2028; restrictions include traffic management plus overnight closures affecting either the A46 or B4082. Check National Highways' junction works information before setting off.
What can you establish before making the drive?
Photos offer a starting point while the car is still in Tamworth, although they cannot reveal everything. To discuss the bodywork, call or WhatsApp +44 7903 105777. Pictures reach us through WhatsApp or via the page's Send enquiry button.
The repair estimator gives an instant figure from the damaged panels, the car type and the paint type. Treat it as a first indication; the car itself tells us more.
A quick inspection costs nothing. If a deeper inspection is needed, the charge is from £240 with VAT included, equivalent to £200 before VAT. That charge comes off your bill if you proceed with the repair.
You receive an estimate in writing with the costs itemised, and work only begins once you agree. No deposit is taken. Small jobs are sometimes done the same day, but from Tamworth it is worth allowing one to two days before you look at available dates.
