Car Body Repairs in Croydon, Surrey

Established in 1981 as accident repair specialists, Panelcraft is recognised by both leading insurance companies and main car dealers. Our modern bodyshop enables prompt repairs using full jig facilities and the latest paint systems. All vehicles are returned to pre-accident condition. We offer realistic labour charges and significant savings on paint and material costs through our own acutely monitored Lecker in-house paint mixing scheme. We also offer full workshop facilities including servicing and mot's for cars and vans. Should it be required we also offer a complete vehicle valeting service. Through our subsidiary company, Road Runners Recovery Service, we offer a 24 hour recovery service, the cost of which often can be refunded against accident repairs. The damaged vehicle is stored in our alarmed storage compound (locked undercover storage is also available) whilst awaiting estimating and either your or your insurance companies authority to begin repairs.

In October 2003 European Union legislation affecting the motor trade came into effect. Its full title is 'Block Exemption Regulations 1400/2002' (in short 'BER'). This legislation changes the way cars may be serviced and repaired and gives motorists a lot more freedom in their decision as to who should look after their cars. Before BER, it was very difficult to have cars, which were still covered by the manufacturer's warranty, serviced anywhere except a franchised dealer. Now motorists can use any garage or their choice to service their cars without invalidating the manufacturer's warranty.* With the average main dealer labour rate being in excess of £100 per hour, we can service your vehicle to manufacturer's specification at a considerable saving. We have the latest diagnostic equipment and, with technicians with over 35 years experience in the care of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, VAG, Ferrari and Porsche we are ideally placed to take care of your vehicle. Riemans will only use parts to original equipment standards giving you the confidence your vehicle is maintained in accordance with their requirements. *subject to terms and conditions
