Well done Sam & Co. Repaired damage to the door of my 2 year old Qashqai to a very high standard, unnoticeable, and I was a car dealer for 40 years! Hope I don't need your services again but if so you will be my first choice.

I work for a local business (to remain anonymous, let's call it Bafford Golfwagen) and we use Summerhouse on a regular basis.
Sam and John are great guys and always willing to help. The knowledge here is second to none and I really wouldn't suggest using anywhere else.

Genuine guys down at Summerhouse, taken a couple of cars to them in the past and by far the best bodyshop in stafford. Their work is that good, once theyre finished with your car its impossible to point out where the damage was in the first place! Quick and friendly service and once again very pleased with the work theyve just done on my car.
