Services
Accident Repair
Our accident repair service restores vehicles to original condition following collisions. Using manufacturer-approved methods, we handle insurance claims coordination, structural repairs, and paint matching. Customers receive complimentary vehicle recovery and replacement services for non-fault incidents, with work guaranteed to meet PAS accreditation standards.
MOT Service
We conduct MOT testing up to one month before expiry while maintaining original renewal dates. Our technicians identify required repairs before testing, offering combined service packages to ensure roadworthiness compliance and prevent future mechanical issues through proactive maintenance.
Alloy Wheel Repair
Specialist alloy wheel refurbishment restores damaged wheels to original condition. We repair scuffs, scrapes, and corrosion using precision techniques, offering cost-effective alternatives to wheel replacement while maintaining vehicle aesthetics and safety standards.
Paintless Dent Removal
This technique reshapes vehicle panels without painting, preserving factory finishes. Ideal for minor dents from car park incidents or hail damage, the process completes within hours using specialist tools to massage out deformations without filler or repainting.
ADAS Calibration
Post-accident recalibration ensures advanced driver assistance systems function correctly. Our technicians realign cameras, sensors, and components to manufacturer specifications using specialist equipment, restoring safety features like automatic braking and lane departure warnings to optimal performance.

Having driven my Maserati into what I thought was a bush to avoid an oncoming truck which turned out to be a wall covered in ivy (the bush not the truck !) who else would I turn to but GWB ? Glad I did, couldn't be more pleased with both the work & the friendly & helpful staff. It was also nice to bump into GW himself for a chat about old times. Keep up the good work folks.
