    Car door dent repair and paint

    Posted 6 days ago

    So pleased with the work mark has done today. My car door got dented after only 2 days of owning so was gutted! Mark called the day before to let me know what time he would arrive. Arrived on time and was friendly and helpful answering any questions I had. He is without doubt very skilled at his job and has restored my car so it feels new again to me. As much as none of us ever wants dents in our cars I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or even call upon mark ourselves if we needed if services again. A big thank you from a very happy customer.

    Southern Autokraft

    Posted 13 March

    I recently had my car worked on by Mark at Southern Autokraft and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mark put a lot of hard work into the car and the results really show. I’m very pleased with how it turned out. On top of that, he made sure I was seen as soon as possible, which I really appreciated. Great service, great communication, and excellent workmanship. Would recommend.

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.
