Steep drives, tight turns and scraped undersides
Biddulph's hillier streets and sloping driveways create their own kind of car damage. Scraped bumper undersides on steep entrances, a door pushed against a wall while manoeuvring, or a grounded front lip all turn up regularly for drivers there. They are easy to do on any awkward slope, and often repairable if the damage is looked at before it worsens.
If your car has picked up something similar, DB Autos can inspect it at our Stoke-on-Trent garage. We assess the damage, explain whether a repair, refinish or replacement part is the sensible route, and make sure you understand the plan before work begins. Anything extra needs your approval first, and photos or videos of the work are available on request.
Steep drives are hard on low front bumpers and side skirts, where scraping leaves rough, grey scuffs and sometimes cracks. Reversing out of a sloped gap onto a road with limited visibility can also mean contact with walls or gateposts. When we see underside or lip damage we check that undertrays, clips and mounting points are still secure, since a loose part can drag. Repairs can be reasonably straightforward when caught early. We outline what is needed and what is simply cosmetic. Biddulph is the furthest of our regular areas at 9 miles from the Salem Street garage.
Every vehicle is inspected individually, then the repair is explained before work begins.

Often yes. Scuffs and some cracks can be repaired and refinished, provided mounts are sound. We inspect it and tell you whether repair or replacement suits better. Replacing is only suggested if repair would not give a sound, lasting result.
Damaged clips can leave parts loose or hanging low. We look at the fixings as part of the assessment, so a minor scrape does not lead to a bigger problem. A loose undertray can scrape the road or work free completely, so securing it is worthwhile.
