Narrow streets, wing mirrors and close-quarters scrapes
Penkhull is close to the garage and has plenty of tightly parked residential streets, which is just the kind of setting where wing mirrors get knocked and door sides get scraped. A folded-in mirror that no longer adjusts, or a long mark along a flank, is typical of life on a crowded road. Such damage is easy to spot but often annoying to fix.
Because you are so near, popping into DB Autos on Salem Street for an assessment is easy. We look at the damage, explain the repair, and only proceed once you say go. Mirrors, paintwork and panels are all handled by the same team, and mechanical checks are available if needed. We will also tell you straight away if the damage looks bigger than it seems.
Parked cars on narrow streets get hit by passing wing mirrors, leaving scratches at roughly the same height along doors and rear quarters. Mirror damage comes in several forms: broken glass, a split casing, a lost painted cover, a failed indicator or an electric adjustment that has stopped responding. Each part is dealt with differently, so we identify what is faulty rather than replacing everything. Being only 2 miles from Salem Street makes a quick assessment trip straightforward from Penkhull.
Every vehicle is inspected individually, then the repair is explained before work begins.

Possibly. We look at whether the casing can be repaired or replaced, and check the glass, indicator and motor. We explain what is needed so you do not pay for parts you do not require. Costs are never assumed, only explained.
In many cases, yes. We test whether the fault is in the glass element, the motor or the wiring, and explain the cause. Replacement is only suggested where repair is unsuitable. We confirm everything works before returning the car.
Sometimes, when the paint has not been broken and the rear of the panel is within reach. We assess the dent first and explain if that approach suits it or whether reshaping and refinishing is the better route. The result is explained before you collect it.
