Pricing
Free quotations. Itemised costs. No surprises.
Every vehicle is different, so we quote per job rather than publishing a price list that never quite fits. Here is exactly how our pricing works, and what moves it up or down.
1. Free assessment
Bring the vehicle in, or send clear photos and a description on WhatsApp. The assessment costs nothing and there is no obligation to proceed.
2. Itemised quotation
You receive parts, labour and an estimated timeline, in writing. If the price changes because hidden damage appears, we stop and ask you first.
3. Approve, then work
Nothing starts until you approve. Larger jobs can be split into stages so the cost is spread across weeks rather than paid all at once.
Cost drivers
What actually changes the price
Two cars of the same model can be quoted very differently — and it is almost always one of these five things.
| Factor | Lowers the cost | Raises the cost |
|---|---|---|
| How many panels | One panel, contained damage | Multiple panels or a full respray |
| Preparation required | Sound paint, light sanding | Stripping failed clear coat, heavy block sanding |
| Rust and metalwork | Surface rust only | Sections cut out, new metal fabricated and welded |
| Paint system | Solid colour | Metallic, pearl or multi-stage finishes |
| Finishing | Refinish and hand polish | Full clear-coat flattening and machine polishing |
| Parts | Repair the existing part | Genuine or imported replacement parts |
Typical timelines
How long jobs usually take
These are realistic working estimates for a single vehicle in our workshop. Your quotation confirms the timeline for your job.
| Job | Typical time in the workshop | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Routine service | Same day | Oil, filters, plugs, inspection |
| Single dent removal | Same day to 2 days | Depends on access and whether paint is damaged |
| Brakes / suspension | 1 – 2 days | Subject to parts availability |
| Single panel repair & respray | 2 – 4 days | Includes priming, painting and polishing |
| Accident repair | 1 – 3 weeks | Driven by structural work and parts |
| Full respray | 1 – 2 weeks | Longer if rust repair is needed |
| Vintage restoration | Staged, months | Planned and funded in agreed stages |
