Car body repair in Cockfosters

You walk back to the car and find a scrape on the bumper, a line along a door or a dent that wasn't there this morning. We repair minor bodywork at Crown Road and mix the paint from your car's code. Cockfosters drivers can send a photo and have a price back within 24 hours.

Signs your car needs car body repair

  • Scratch through the paint A different colour showing in the line means the top coat has gone, and the panel is exposed.
  • Scuffed bumper corner Scrapes on a corner tend to flake at the edges if they are left.
  • Small dent A shallow dent from a car door or a trolley is worth photographing, and the quote says what the repair involves.
  • Chipped edge Chips along a door or bonnet edge leave bare patches that rain can reach.

What a scratch does if it's left

Once paint is broken, water gets to the panel beneath, and a mark that began small can spread into a larger area to repair. Minor scuffs and scratches may suit a mobile repair, and your postcode lets us confirm.

Your insurer or your own pocket

On an insurance claim you can nominate Whoops as your repairer and leave us to deal with the insurer. Take a look at accident repair for the steps. If someone else caused the damage, our accident management partners make the claim for you, with no excess and your no-claims bonus protected. If your policy includes a courtesy car, the partners can arrange one through a hire company, as we don't have cars of our own to lend. We don't take on major collision repairs, but send photos of any structural damage and we'll say whether we can help. Details sit on the non-fault claims page. Paying privately costs you nothing to start, because the photo quote is free, and payment is taken on completion.

Before you send the photo

Should a scratch that's down to the metal be fixed quickly?
Yes, since bare metal is open to water as soon as the paint is gone. Minor repairs are usually done within 24 hours at the workshop, so the car is not without you for long.
What should the photo show?
Send the whole panel and a close-up of the mark, with your registration or the make and model. Pictures taken in daylight help us give a firmer price.
Can you tell from a photo what the job involves?
Usually, because the picture shows how large the panel damage is and how deep the scratch or dent goes. The reply gives a price and a description of the work.
