Mobile car repairs in Edinburgh
Much of central Edinburgh, from the New Town to Stockbridge and Bruntsfield, was laid out long before cars, and most residents park on the street in controlled parking zones. That's where most minor scratches, scuffs and dings happen.
Our mobile technicians cover Edinburgh and the Lothians, repairing scratches, dents, bumper scuffs and mirror covers at your home, your workplace or wherever the car is parked, with every repair guaranteed for as long as you own the vehicle.

Repairs available
What we repair in Edinburgh
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 streets of the New Town and Stockbridge are often in the clear coat only and can be repaired without repainting the whole panel.
Bumper scuff repair
Kerbed bumper corners from on-street parking in Morningside and Bruntsfield are usually repaired in place, in one visit.
Panel dent repair
Door dings from neighbouring cars in controlled parking zones can usually be removed without refinishing.
Wing mirror repair
Mirror covers clipped on busy streets and in tight parking can be replaced and painted to your paint code rather than replacing the whole mirror.
Local knowledge
Repairing cars in Edinburgh
Where parking is controlled, we'll check the location with you when you book - whether there's room to work safely, and whether a permit or visitor voucher is needed - so the technician arrives to a workable spot.
Out towards Leith and Portobello, cars are also exposed to salt in the coastal air, and winter road salt has the same effect inland. Scratches that have reached bare metal are best repaired sooner rather than later.
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 Edinburgh: 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 Edinburgh do you cover?
All of it. Our technicians work across Edinburgh and the wider Lothian area, including New Town, Stockbridge, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Leith and Portobello. 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 controlled 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 with you whether the technician will need a permit or visitor voucher.
Do you cover Leith, Portobello and Musselburgh?
Yes. We cover the whole of the UK, including Leith, Portobello, Musselburgh and the rest of the Lothians.
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.
