    Paintwork scratches removed from my car

    Posted 02 June

    Superb job from Mark - I had scratches down the entire length of my car caused by low branches I couldn't see on a country road. When he was done with the repair it looked better than new, so I'm very happy with the work.

    Car paint work

    Posted 12 March

    Mark was the first person to contact me regarding the job, was really responsive and when the job was booked in it was a very quick time, didn't have to wait months! When he arrived he was very polite and got on with the job, did an amazing prep before he started with masking all of the car before starting! And the end result was amazing within 2h30min, like it came out a show room!

Annoying scuff or dent to the body of your pride and joy? Can't be bothered with the aggravation of visiting many bodyshops to get the cheapest quote? Then call us at Southern Autokraft for a no obligation free quote today.

Our Services

• dent repair/removal

  • bumper scuffs/dents/cracks
  • Accident repair (Minor)
  • panel scuffs/dents/scratches
  • alloy wheels (painted only)
  • machine polishing

The vast majority of Southern Autokraft's repairs cost less than the average insurance excess and due to our substantially lower overheads in comparison to that of a bodyshop's, and that we are not a VAT registered company, we can knock £££££'s off the cost of the repair plus we will come to you at your home or workplace** (access to mains power required). Add to that the fact that our technician has 20+years experience in the vehicle re-finishing industry, has the most up to date qualifications and takes great pride in every repair, then why go anywhere else?

Don't fall into the trap that only a bodyshop can produce a high quality repair, some garages would love to regularly turn out the high standards of quality workmanship we produce at Southern Autokraft. All repairs are carried out using the most modern techniques using high quality paint and materials.
