Our Work, Before and After

The easiest way to judge a body shop is to look at what leaves it. These are real repairs carried out at Salisbury Street — collision damage, resprays, colour changes and wheel refurbishments — photographed as they arrived and as they went home.

Accident and Collision Repair

A spread of real jobs — a scuffed bumper, a couple of panels, and something structural that looked unrepairable on arrival. Each captioned with the vehicle, the damage, what was involved and how long it took.

Paint and Colour Matching

Close work: paint code mixing, test cards, a repaired panel photographed against its neighbours in daylight. The point of this section is to answer “will the colour match?” with evidence rather than a promise.

Resprays and Colour Changes

A full respray, and a colour change if one’s in the shop — before and after, side by side.

Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

Kerbed and corroded wheels before, and after; ideally one set photographed at each stage of the eight-step process. A colour change too, given how often that’s asked for.

In the Workshop

Clean, tidy, busy, plenty of vehicles. This is what people are hoping to see before they hand their keys over.
