Expert Car Body Repairs for Willenhall, Coventry
Coventry Body Shop has one workshop, in Wyken on the east side of Coventry, under a mile from University Hospital Coventry. Willenhall (CV3) is another part of the city, so if you book from there, you drop the car off at Wyken and pick it up once the work is done. There is no collection or delivery, and we do not repair cars at home.
Work ranges from scratch removal and machine polishing, from £120 plus VAT (£144 including VAT) per panel, to accident damage such as dents and cracked bumpers. A small chip may only need a paint touch-up, from £49 plus VAT (£58.80 including VAT). Before you visit, you can send photos by WhatsApp to +44 7903 105777 or through the Send enquiry button, or call the same number. Small inspections are free.
Other Coventry areas with their own pages include Earlsdon and Stoke. There is also a page for Binley.
Precision Colour Matching and Advanced Paint Systems
Paint can differ slightly from batch to batch and change as it ages. Colour matching here uses your car's manufacturer paint code, specialist colour mixing and a spectrophotometer.
On a panel repaint, the area is prepared and primed where needed before the colour coat, and clear lacquer goes on top. The new colour can be blended into the paint around it to help hide the join. All paint is sprayed in our spray booth, and the director, a former Aston Martin technician and painter, is the only person who paints customers' cars. A single panel repaint is from £150 plus VAT (£180 including VAT).
Accident Repair: Restoring Vehicles from Willenhall
After an inspection, we confirm the price in a quote. Bent panels can be straightened by panel beating, and a bolt-on panel that cannot be saved, such as a bumper or a front wing, can be replaced. We do not cut or weld metal panels. If your car needs that, we will tell you and recommend a garage we have trusted with welding work before.
For an insurance claim, we can supply photographs and a quote for your insurer, and deal with the insurer for you if you want. We are insured but not insurer-approved, so check how your insurer handles a body shop you pick yourself.
SMART Repair: Quick Solutions for Minor Damage
SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repair aims to keep the work to a small area around the damage, such as a chip or a bumper scuff, instead of painting the whole panel.
A SMART repair for a chip or scuff starts from £75 plus VAT (£90 including VAT). We can sometimes finish a small job the same day, but allow 1 to 2 days. Small dents with unbroken paint may suit paintless dent repair instead, from £90 plus VAT (£108 including VAT) per panel.
Expert Bumper Repair and Respray Services
On a plastic bumper, scuffs and scratches can be repaired, and some cracks can be plastic welded and filled. If the bumper needs paint, it is primed where needed and painted to your car's paint code.
A bumper that is too badly damaged can be replaced, and the replacement is priced in the quote. See our bumper repair page for this service. A bumper respray starts from £210 plus VAT (£252 including VAT).
Paint Correction: Reviving Your Vehicle's Finish
Paint correction is machine polishing that can take swirl marks and light scratches out of the paint surface, depending on how deep they go.
Polishing removes a little of the surface, and we have a paint depth gauge for checking the paint thickness. Lacquer that is lifting or peeling cannot be polished back, and the affected area needs painting.
Paint Protection and Machine Polishing
We offer machine polishing and paint protection, not ceramic coating. A stone chip or a scratch through the clear lacquer still needs a repair.
After a repair, the new paint needs to cure before it can be protected, so ask us how long to wait.
