10 Damage to the paintwork and trims
Posted 1 week ago
Mark has great attention to detail and has left my car looking brand new after it had been clipped by someone. Mark was able to fit me in on a cancellation, this relieved a lot of stress given the situation. The price was competitive, I will not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Many thanks again!Verified reviewerJob location: PO13 10 Recommended!

10 Dent removal and respray
Posted 18 October
I've used Mark several times to remove dents and scratches (usually from supermarket trolleys) and his work has always been exceptional. His most recent job for me was to remove a dent caused my a car door being opened in to mine and afterwards the paintwork looked like it had come straight from the factory, and all at a reasonable price and with excellent communication.Verified reviewerJob location: SO30Response from Southern Autokraft

10 A highly skilled and professional on-site service

I could not recommend AutoKraft more highly. I had been looking at a relatively small dent for over three years and decided it was time to erase the memory of my mishap. AutoKraft provided an excellent on-site service and worked their magic. A highly skillful and professional service.Verified reviewerJob location: SO17Response from Southern Autokraft
Thanks Andrew.

10 Highly recommended
Posted 11 October
Mark was due to repair a large scratch in my car in September but due to high winds we had to reschedule. I was rescheduled very quickly with great communication throughout, reminding me of my appointment a few days before etc. When he came to complete the job he was fab. Arrived on time, was friendly, polite, and most importantly did a fantastic job. It’s like the scratch was never there! He set up and packed down his equipment leaving nothing behind. Couldn’t recommend him more. Thanks for a great job!Verified reviewerJob location: SO31Response from Southern Autokraft
Thanks so much for your kind review Emma ❤️

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.
