Bodyshop Services for Individuals at R&P Accident Repair in Lingfield

Most people arrive here in one of three situations. Someone has hit your car. You have had a knock that is going through your insurance. Or you have picked up a dent, a scuff or a kerbed wheel and simply want it sorted without a claim.

We handle all three, at our own workshop in Lingfield.

If it was not your fault

You do not have to use the repairer your insurer suggests. Where the claim is made against the other driver’s insurer, the choice is yours, and we will deal with the process on your behalf.

This is worth a two-minute phone call before you agree to anything, because once the work has been placed it is much harder to change.

Non-Fault Accident Repairs

If you are claiming on your own policy

We carry out insurance work to the standard your insurer requires, and we will deal with them directly so you are not caught in the middle.

Insurance Approved Repairs

If you are paying privately

Plenty of our work has nothing to do with a claim. A dent in a door, a bumper someone caught in a car park, kerbed alloys before a lease goes back, or paintwork that has stopped looking like the rest of the car.

We will give you a straight price and tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.

What you get, whichever route you take

Your car is repaired here by our own technicians. Nothing is subcontracted out.

We work to manufacturer repair methods using approved paint systems and colour match to your car’s original finish rather than the closest shade. Before you collect it, the car is inspected, road-tested where appropriate, and cleaned, and we will walk you round the work.

Our repairs and paintwork are guaranteed for as long as you own the vehicle, and parts are covered by the manufacturer’s own parts warranty. Full terms are on our Our Guarantee page.

Getting your car to us and back

You can bring it in, or we can collect it and deliver it back when it is done. If it is not drivable, we will arrange recovery.

Collection & Delivery

Not being stuck without a car

Depending on the type of work, a courtesy car or a like-for-like replacement vehicle may be available. They are not the same thing and they work differently, so it is worth knowing which one applies to you.

Honest advice

If a panel can be properly repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If a repair is not worth doing on a car of that age and value, we will tell you that too, even though it costs us the work. We would rather you came back in three years than have you spend money you did not need to spend today.

Get a price

Send us a couple of photographs and a description and we will come back to you. A picture of the damage and one of the whole panel from a few feet back is usually enough to get started.

Or call us on 01342 832511.
