Accident & collision repair

Nobody plans this. Send us a photo, we'll tell you what it needs, and we'll put your car back the way it was — insurance claim or paying privately.

What we take on

From a scraped bumper to a stripped front end

Some cars come in with a scuff from a bollard. Others arrive on the back of a recovery truck. We handle both, and everything in between, at our workshop on Brunswick Square.

Where the damage has gone past the panels and into the structure of the car, we set it up on the alignment jig and pull it back to factory measurements — because a repair that only looks right isn't a repair.

  • Dents, scratches and scuffs — removed with professional equipment, not filled and forgotten.
  • Panel repair and replacement — wings, doors, quarters, bonnets, tailgates.
  • Bumpers — repaired where sensible, replaced and colour-matched where it isn't.
  • Structural and chassis alignment — pulled back true on the jig.
  • Cars, vans and light commercials.

Questions

Accident repair FAQs

My car isn't driveable — can you still help?
Give us a ring and tell us where it is. In most cases the car can be recovered to us; if you're claiming, your insurer will usually arrange recovery as part of the claim.
Will the repair be visible?
It shouldn't be. Paint is mixed to your car's factory colour code and blended into the neighbouring panels so there's no hard edge between old and new.
Do I have to use the garage my insurer suggests?
In the UK you're generally entitled to choose your own repairer. Tell your insurer you'd like the work done at N17 Bodyworks and give them our details.
How long will it take?
It depends on the extent of the damage and how quickly parts arrive. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your quote rather than a number we can't hit.
