This area is equally important, not to damage lose or incorrectly disconnect wiring harness, pulling of seals etc, we aim to spend time checking items using methods from autodata or even google before we strip an item that were not 100 percent about, you can appreciate there’s thousands of variants of parts and fittings on all makes and models. however, if stripping is needed you can be sure that your car is not a storage bay and only the small items bolts and electricals will be stored in the boot in sealed clean containers labelled if required to ensure safety of components away from the Bodyshop environments larger parts are stored safely away from the vehicle SORRY NO MOTORBIKES ALOWED IN THIS SECTION DUE TO THE SAFTEY OF THE RIDER WERE NOT BIKE MACHANICS
Smart repairs are not what you need !! you need a small area repaired in the same way that a brand-new car would be repaired using the same materials and processes but on a much smaller scale be aware that drive way repairs although very common practise nowadays often fail and come with very little warranty if any, all of our small repairs come fully warranted and granted for years terms agreed and certificates provided were needed. typical small areas are corner of bumpers to arch repairs that will take less than 4 hours to complete
All our plastic welding is carried out with the belt and braces approach using every tool technique there is from epoxy industrial strength glues resins to full on penetrative welding we use stainless gauzes melted deep to the plastics to retain strength and flexibility. yes, we also warrant these types of repairs but if there a chance this fails despite our best efforts then a full refund will be given if the costumer agrees to have the parts replaced at their cost, but should this situation acure in genuine circumstances with no other obvious damage accured to the part including the opposite sides ie bumpers o/s – n/s corners hit then we will only require you to pay for parts and cost of materials in full and labour will be heavily discounted. ALSO, any soft were updates that are needed due to replacement is fully charge able such as ADAS CALIBRATION requires dealer ship hook up and will involve an out sourced discounted approved engineer. this would be discussed in more detail if need in person.
