Lane scratches, tight passing places and mirror damage
Out in Meir Heath the roads are often narrower than the vehicles using them, and passing oncoming traffic can mean brushing a hedge or clipping a verge. Long scratches down the side of a car, a cracked mirror housing or a scuffed sill are common results, and they tend to go unrepaired because the car still drives perfectly well.
On arrival we begin with an assessment, looking at how deep each mark goes and what sits behind it. You get a clear explanation of the repair we would recommend and the parts involved, and the work starts only once you have said yes. We handle paintwork, panels and mirrors under one roof. We do not guess at faults.
Country-style driving is hard on wing mirrors and the paint along a car's flanks. Branches leave fine scratches that look cosmetic but still cut the clearcoat, while a mirror folded back against a post can crack the glass or break the motor that adjusts it. Heated and electric mirrors are worth checking carefully after any contact. Mud and gravel thrown up on lanes also chips lower panels. We can work through all of this in one visit, so you know exactly what needs doing. Meir Heath sits about 6 miles from us in Stoke-on-Trent.
Every vehicle is inspected individually, then the repair is explained before work begins.

Where the damage is limited to the glass, that can be the simplest fix. We also repair or replace housings, painted covers, indicators, plus the adjustment motor or heater, depending on what has actually failed.
If the mark has not passed through the clearcoat, careful finishing can sometimes remove it. If it has gone deeper, it needs refinishing to stop it spreading. We check the depth and tell you which applies.
We inspect the damage, explain the repair method and any parts needed, and only proceed once you agree. If there is anything mechanical worth checking after the contact, we point that out too. Mechanical checks are available if wanted.
