    Great job, great value.

    Posted 29 November

    Mark carried out an excellent repair and was very courteous and efficient. The cost of the works that he carried out was well below 10% of the quote (over £3000) provided by the local main dealership!

    Outstanding Service

    Posted 15 November

    Throughout, Mark showed a high level of skill and professionalism, so the entire process was smooth and efficient. We agreed a date and a competitive price, and nothing changed. He arrived on the dot and promptly started work. The finish was of excellent quality, with a flawless colour match and I was totally pleased with the outcome. Mark spotted a broken trim, obtained the part from the dealer and fitted it at no extra cost for his time. If the need arises he will undoubtedly be my first choice and I highly recommend Mark's services to anyone seeking a top-quality bodywork repair.

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.
