Services

Same Day Express Service

Our Same Day Express Service addresses minor vehicle damage through high-quality bodywork repairs completed within hours. Using professional-grade materials and spray booth technology, we match standard repair quality while significantly reducing downtime. Customers benefit from direct insurance coordination and transparent progress updates throughout the process.

Alloy Wheel Remanufacture

Specialist alloy wheel remanufacturing uses a 7-stage process including CNC diamond cutting and OEM-approved coatings. We restore both standard and diamond-cut alloys to factory specifications, addressing buckles and wear while maintaining structural integrity. Environmental considerations guide our chemical stripping methods and powder coating techniques.

Paint Restoration

Paint restoration services revive vehicle finishes through machine polishing and protective wax application. This cost-effective alternative to full resprays removes surface scratches while restoring original colour vibrancy. Our dedicated colourist ensures precise shade matching using advanced technology to prevent mismatched results.

Pre-Return Lease Cars

Specialist pre-return lease car inspections identify and repair damage exceeding fair wear-and-tear guidelines. We address bodywork, bumper, and alloy wheel issues according to leasing company standards, preventing unexpected charges. The service integrates with other repair work for comprehensive end-of-lease preparation.

Paint Shop

Full paint shop services combine experienced technicians with advanced equipment including extra-high spray booths for large vehicles. We maintain strict quality control throughout the painting process, from surface preparation to final curing, ensuring durable, showroom-quality finishes that match original manufacturer specifications.

Very friendly, quick, and helpful.
Stopped by to get a quote for our bumper that'd popped out.
Chris gave it a quick look over and was able to advise us and pop it back in quickly! Would absolutely recommend and will be back if we need anything done in future!

My second time of dealing with ECS and once again they have been brilliant - a lovely job at a fair price, and outstandingly friendly and helpful. I cant recommend them highly enough. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

There is a reason why ECS is rated one of the top 3 Automotive body shops in Edinburgh, I for one can definitely vouch for that. Right from the start, the communication was fantastic. I had specific requirements / expectations of whats needed to be done and ECS had the professionals (all with many years of experience) to meet them. From the quality of the service to the quality of the panel fitments / paint to match my car are all of the highest of standards. Even if things are taking longer than expected, they go the extra mile by letting you know ahead of time that they would rather produce

Reasonable price with impressive repair craftsmanship and also highly efficiency. They took 2 days only, another bodywork company quoted for 4-5 days. Professional & friendly staffs, I would definitely recommended.

Genuinely the friendliest, most helpful folks I've ever come across. I've been here a few times with minor scuffs and scratches on the car that needed repairing, and every time the guys were super helpful and all the work was carried out to a very high standard. Can't recommend them enough.

They say that every cloud has a silver lining, and the team at ECS turned out to be the silver lining in the storm cloud of the dent in my brand new Jeep Compass. If ever your cloud and its silver lining needs repaired, rest assured that the silver lining will be colour matched perfectly by Chris and his team of skilled bodywork professionals, and that cloud will come out as bright and fluffy as new. Thanks for a great job, Chris - it passed the toughest test of all - er indoors!
