Royal Wootton Bassett is a straightforward run from our Fairford workshop. Pick up the A419 and the eighteen miles or so go by quickly, give or take twenty-eight minutes door to door. For a town that does plenty of commuting, that makes us a sensible place to bring the car when the bodywork needs sorting.
A commuter town that wears its cars out
Sitting roughly two miles from M4 Junction 16, Royal Wootton Bassett keeps its cars on the move. A lot of people here drive in and out every day, whether that is up the A419 towards Swindon or off down the A3102. All those miles add up, and the A419 in particular throws up its share of motorway grit and stone chips that pepper a bonnet over time.
Closer to home there is the old part of town to think about. The historic High Street, with its handsome 17th-century Town Hall raised up on stone pillars, was never laid out for modern parking. A tight space near the shops, or a snug spot during a busy market day, can easily leave you with a scuffed bumper or a kerbed panel. This is the same High Street that became known the world over for the repatriation processions, which led to the Royal title being granted in 2011.
What we can put right
We take on the full range of bodywork. Common jobs for Royal Wootton Bassett drivers include:
- Accident and collision repair after a knock or a bigger shunt
- Dents, scratches and scuffs and bumper repairs
- Stone chip repair from those longer A419 runs
Once the work is done, our paintwork and respray side makes sure the colour matches and the finish looks right, so you cannot tell where the damage was.
With Interface and Coped Hall business parks nearby, and the former RAF Lyneham just to the south-west, we also handle a good few fleet and commercial vehicles for local firms.
Sorting your insurance
If the repair is going through a claim, you do not have to use whichever garage your insurer suggests. You can choose your own repairer, and we will deal with the claim and the paperwork for you. It is your car, so it should be your call.
Getting your car to us
You are welcome to drop the car in whenever suits, or we can arrange collection and delivery if the timing is awkward. The route is simple: out of Royal Wootton Bassett on the A419 and on to Fairford. A fair share of our regulars come from neighbouring Swindon and Cricklade, so the run is a familiar one.
