Reversing knocks, driveway scrapes and panel refinishing
In a residential area like Bucknall, a surprising amount of bodywork damage happens at walking pace: backing off a drive, pulling into a space beside a wall, or easing past a gatepost. Rear bumpers and wing corners take the brunt, and the marks are usually shallow but obvious in good light. Such damage is easy to ignore until it spreads.
Cars from Bucknall come to our Salem Street garage for bodywork assessment. We examine the damage, explain what repair will restore the panel, and confirm with you before starting. If something looks like it could affect lights or alignment, we check that as well. A photographic record of the repair is there for the asking.
Low-speed knocks can be deceptive. A bumper that looks only scuffed may have a cracked bracket behind it, and a scraped wing can hide a distorted headlight mounting. Parking sensors fitted in bumpers are worth bearing in mind too, since damage nearby can shift their position. We assess each panel carefully before recommending repair or replacement, and finish with preparation, primer, colour and clearcoat so the result looks consistent in daylight and under garage lights alike. Bucknall lies roughly 3 miles from us.
Every vehicle is inspected individually, then the repair is explained before work begins.

Often it is, but not always. We check the bumper cover, brackets and any lights or sensors nearby before advising. That way you know whether it is only paint or something deeper. Cosmetic or not, we tell you straight.
In many cases yes, though we look carefully at how the damage sits around the sensor positions. We explain what is repairable and whether any parts need replacing before work starts. That is worth knowing before you book anything.
The area is prepared, primed, colour matched, painted and finished with clearcoat. Where necessary we blend into adjoining paint so the repair is not obvious. We explain the process before beginning. Pictures are available if you ask.
