The villages along the Coln and the Leach are about as close to us as it gets. From most of them it is barely four miles and ten minutes down the lanes and onto the A417 into Fairford. If you live out this way, you do not need to trail across the county to find a proper body shop. We are right here.
A patch of villages we know well
These little stone villages share the same narrow lanes, blind bends and high verges, and that is where most of the bother starts.
Quenington sits on the River Coln with its old Norman church, and the lanes in and out are tight enough to catch a mirror or a wing. Just along the water is Coln St Aldwyns, a picture-postcard village where the pinch by the New Inn and the parked cars on a busy weekend lead to the odd clipped bumper. Hatherop, with its castle and proper estate-village feel, has its own snug corners that test a wheel arch.
Over towards the Leach, Southrop has grown busier since the Swan and the wider Thyme estate started drawing people in, so there is more traffic on lanes that were never built for it. And Eastleach, really two villages joined by the old clapper bridge over the Leach, is as pretty as they come and just as easy to kerb an alloy in. Wherever the knock happened, we will make it look like it never did.
What we put right
We take on the full run of bodywork for drivers across these villages:
- Accident and collision repair after a bigger bump
- Dents, scratches and scuffs and bumper repairs
- Stone chip repair from all those longer lane runs
Once the work is done, our paintwork and respray side gets the colour matched and the finish sitting right, so you cannot tell where the damage was.
Insurance work without the runaround
If the repair is going through your insurance, you do not have to use whoever they put forward. You can choose your own repairer, and we will handle the claim and the paperwork for you. It is your car, so it should be your call.
Getting your car to us
Drop the car in whenever suits, or we can arrange collection and delivery if the timing is awkward out on the lanes. The route is simple from any of these villages: down to the A417 and a short hop into Fairford. We also look after nearby Fairford and Lechlade-on-Thames, so a lot of our work comes from this corner.
