About Shine!

Keeping your car in pristine condition is our number one priority. Shine! was set up in 2003 to provide a fully employed mobile repair service covering the whole of the UK, and two decades later that is still how we work.

What we stand for
How we work
From the start, we chose to directly employ every technician. It means everyone is trained the same way, every repair is held to the same standard, and we stay responsible for the work from start to finish. Everything below follows from that decision.
Directly employed technicians
Every technician is employed by Shine!, so we're responsible for their training, standards and support - and you deal with one company from your first quote to any aftercare.
Our own academy
New technicians train at our dedicated academy and continue personal development throughout their career. Colour matching and blending take years to master, so training never really stops.
Independently audited
The BSI Kitemark means an external body audits what we do against a published standard. We also work with the IMI to raise the accreditation bar for mobile cosmetic repair across the whole sector.
We work hard and have fun
It is on the wall at head office for a reason. Technicians who enjoy the job stay, and technicians who stay get better at it. Our retention is why our standards hold.
Manufacturers
Approved methods, protected warranties
We work directly with major vehicle manufacturers so that our methods, materials and finishes meet their requirements. The practical upshot for you is simple: a Shine! repair will not invalidate your vehicle's paint warranty.
Partners
Trusted by national organisations
Alongside private customers we work with large national organisations whose vehicle fleets and customer promises depend on consistent, auditable repair quality.
BSI Kitemark
The Kitemark means an independent body audits our processes, our materials and our finished work against a published British Standard, and returns regularly to check we still meet it.
IMI accreditation
We work with the Institute of the Motor Industry to develop and push the standards of the mobile cosmetic repair accreditation itself. Higher standards across the sector are good news for every customer.
Our academy
Training that lasts a career
Every technician trains at our dedicated academy and keeps developing throughout their career. Blending a repair so the join is invisible - particularly on metallics and three-stage pearls - is a skill that only comes from supervised repetition on real panels.
Because our technicians are part of our own team, that training stays with us - and shows in every finished repair.

- Wing mirror cover replacement
Keyed doors, car-park scrapes and trolley marks colour-matched back to the manufacturer's original paint code.
Kerbed and scuffed bumpers rebuilt, refinished and lacquered so the repair disappears into the surrounding panel.
Car-park dings and shopping-trolley dents removed using manufacturer-approved techniques.
Cracked or missing mirror covers replaced and painted to match - usually for much less than a whole new mirror.
Keeping it green
Repair is the sustainable option
Cosmetic repair is inherently lower impact than replacement - but only if the way you deliver it is thought through as well.
Repair, not replace
The greenest panel is the one already on the car. Repairing in place avoids the manufacture, transport and disposal that panel replacement involves.
Reusable vehicle covers
We use washable, reusable vehicle covers instead of single-use plastic sheeting.
Mobile paint extraction
Our mobile units have extraction built in, so overspray is captured rather than released on a customer's driveway.
Pathway to paperless
Job sheets, quotes, sign-offs and invoices have moved to digital across the business, cutting paper out of our day-to-day work.
Life at Shine!
We work hard and have fun
It is written on the wall at head office for a reason. Technicians who enjoy the job stay, and technicians who stay get better at it - which is ultimately what protects the standard of the work.
