Mobile car repairs in London
Most cars in London are parked on the street or in shared car parks, so minor scratches, scuffs and dings tend to build up over time - usually caused by other vehicles rather than the driver. Getting them repaired shouldn't mean losing a day to a body shop.
Our mobile technicians work across Greater London, repairing at the kerbside, in permit bays and in office and residential car parks. The work is done where the car is already parked, so there's no drop-off and no collection.

Repairs available
What we repair in London
Four types of cosmetic damage, all carried out at your address rather than a body shop.
Car scratch repair
Side scratches picked up on narrower residential streets are often in the clear coat only, and can be repaired without repainting the whole panel.
Bumper scuff repair
Scuffed bumper corners from parallel parking are usually repaired in place in a single visit, without the bumper coming off the car.
Panel dent repair
Small door dings from neighbouring cars can often be removed without any refinishing, as long as the paint itself is unbroken.
Wing mirror repair
If a mirror cover has been clipped, we supply and paint a replacement cover to your paint code rather than quoting for a whole mirror unit.
Local knowledge
Repairing cars in London
London has a high proportion of leased and company cars. End-of-lease inspections follow published damage standards, and repairing minor damage before the car goes back usually costs less than the recharge for the same marks.
Where parking is limited or 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.
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 London: 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 London do you cover?
All of it. Our technicians work across London and the wider Greater London area, including Islington, Camden, Wandsworth, Richmond, Ealing and Greenwich. 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 permit bay or 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 the location with you, including whether the technician will need a permit or visitor voucher.
Do I need a whole new wing mirror if the cover is damaged?
Usually not. In most cases only the painted cover needs replacing. We supply a new cover painted to your car's colour and fit it at your address.
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.
