Mobile car repairs in Bristol
A lot of Bristol's housing, from the Georgian terraces of Clifton to the Victorian streets of Bishopston and Southville, has little or no off-street parking. Cars spend most of their time at the kerb, which is where most minor scratches, scuffs and dings happen.
Our mobile technicians cover Bristol and the surrounding area, repairing scratches, dents, bumper scuffs and mirror covers at your home or workplace. Most repairs are finished in one visit, and every repair is guaranteed for as long as you own the vehicle.

Repairs available
What we repair in Bristol
Four types of cosmetic damage, all carried out at your address rather than a body shop.
Car scratch repair
Side scratches picked up on the narrower terraced streets of Clifton and Redland are often in the clear coat only and can be repaired without repainting the whole panel.
Bumper scuff repair
Kerbed bumper corners from parking on steep streets against high kerbs are usually repaired in place, in one visit.
Panel dent repair
Door dings from neighbouring cars in on-street parking across Bishopston and Southville can usually be removed without refinishing.
Wing mirror repair
Mirror covers clipped on the lanes out through Long Ashton can be replaced and painted to your paint code.
Local knowledge
Repairing cars in Bristol
Many of the city's streets are steep, particularly around Totterdown, Windmill Hill and Cotham. A reasonably level spot gives the best finish, so if your street is on a slope we'll talk through the options with you when you book.
Residents' parking zones cover much of central Bristol. As long as the car is legally parked and there's safe space to work around it, we can usually carry out the repair where it is.
Our technicians are directly employed, and the same people tend to work the same area week after week. They know the area, where a van can park, and the kinds of damage that are most common locally.

Questions
Mobile car repair in Bristol: FAQs
Can't find what you need? See all our FAQs on booking, guarantees and the repair day, or get in touch.
Which parts of Bristol do you cover?
All of it. Our technicians work across Bristol and the wider West of England area, including Clifton, Redland, Bishopston, Southville, Henleaze and Fishponds. If you are just outside the city, we almost certainly still cover you - ask when you request your quote.
Can you repair my car in a residents' parking zone?
Usually, yes, as long as the car is legally parked and there's safe space to work around it. When you book, we'll check whether the technician will need a visitor permit.
My street is steep. Can you still do the repair?
We need somewhere reasonably level for the best finish. If your street is steep, we'll talk through options when you book, such as a flatter spot nearby or your workplace car park.
Do I need to be at home during the repair?
Not necessarily. Many customers leave the keys and go to work. What we do need is access to the vehicle and, ideally, somewhere reasonably level to work.
How long will the repair take?
Most single-panel repairs are completed within a few hours and finished in one visit. We will confirm the expected duration with your quote.
