Very efficient service, took a look at the front valence of the Mitsubishi damaged by a rogue security bollard at UKC. We were also informed that due to the model and the damage, they had to get the parts from their supplier before they could commence work.

He said as it’s safe to drive, better to stay driving until the part comes as some can take from 2 days to 2 months to arrive if they’re in stock!

I have used AB Crush for many years now for colour coding of elevating roofs and body kit's for my camper van conversion business.

AB Crush were flexible in changing their process to then deal with their insurance company and kept me up to date throughout the process. Theyve done an amazing job at replacing the rear bumper and even managed to get the job done within one working day so I didnt have to live with a hire company for
