Rural lanes, scratched flanks and chipped fronts
Forsbrook is a village setting, and driving there often means rural lanes, overhanging branches and the occasional wing mirror folded against a hedge. Cars used this way pick up thin scratches and chips that do not affect driving but gradually take the shine off the paint. Their effect builds up slowly. Small marks soon add up on a daily driver.
DB Autos offers a thorough assessment at Salem Street, working out which marks are surface-level and which need real repair. We explain our recommendations clearly and wait for your agreement. Mechanical checks are available too if you suspect a knock has done more than scratch the paint. Pictures of the damage can be passed on to you.
On country roads, damage tends to accumulate along the sides and front of the car. Twigs and brambles drag across the paintwork, gravel peppers the bumper, and mirrors take a battering from close passes. We look at each type of damage separately, since a scratch in clearcoat needs a very different fix from a mirror motor that no longer works. Left alone, deeper marks can let damp in. From Forsbrook you are looking at about 7 miles to Salem Street. Mirrors are often the first thing hit, so we check them early.
Every vehicle is inspected individually, then the repair is explained before work begins.

Light ones may be removed through careful finishing, while deeper ones need refinishing. We check the depth first and tell you which route applies. Many marks look worse than they are. We explain the likely cause too.
If they are down to bare metal, they should be dealt with before rust forms. We check each one and explain what is cosmetic and what is protective. We explain this clearly with each one.
Often. Glass, housings, covers, indicators and motors can be dealt with separately, depending on what has failed. We identify the fault before recommending parts. It saves paying for parts you do not need. We check the wiring and glass first.
