Your local Peterborough body shop
Bodywork repairs begin with understanding the damage and choosing the appropriate approach.
Peterborough MOT Station provides car body repairs, paintwork and refinishing alongside our MOT and mechanical services. Whether your vehicle has picked up a car-park dent, a bumper scrape or more extensive panel damage, our team can assess the affected area and discuss a suitable repair.
Our body shop handles dent removal, scratch and scuff repairs, bumper and panel restoration, paint matching, resprays and rust-related panel work. We explain the proposed preparation and repair before work starts, so you know what is being addressed and what to expect from the finish.
For damage following an accident
Bodywork services
A surface scratch and a distorted panel do not need the same work. Assessment helps us recommend the appropriate repair rather than treating every mark in the same way.
We assess damage to the paint and panel before discussing the repair method. Paintless dent removal may be suitable in some cases; other dents require preparation and refinishing. The location and extent of the damage matter.
Cracked bumpers, damaged trim and distorted panels need a closer look. We explain whether repair is appropriate or a replacement part should be considered, alongside any related mechanical or safety concerns.
Careful preparation, suitable materials and paint matching are central to a considered finish. We discuss the affected panels and refinishing work, taking the existing condition of the vehicle into account.
Before the repair begins
Photographs are useful for an initial enquiry, particularly a wider view of the panel and a close-up of the damage. They do not always show the full depth of a dent, hidden damage or the condition beneath the paint, so we may need to inspect the vehicle before confirming the repair.
We discuss the proposed work and obtain your agreement before proceeding. Timescales depend on the damage, preparation, parts and workshop availability. Our team will explain the practical arrangements for your vehicle rather than promising an identical turnaround for every repair.
For accident damage, tell us about any change in steering, braking or how the vehicle drives, not only the bodywork you can see.
Private and accident-related work
Contact our Peterborough body shop with your registration, photographs and a description of the damage. Let us know whether you are arranging the work privately or speaking to an insurer so the right information can be discussed.
Where an insurance claim is involved, check your policy requirements and obtain the necessary authorisation before repairs are instructed. We can discuss the assessment and supporting information your insurer may request without assuming that every repair is already approved.
Vehicle care under one roof
Our Saville Road garage combines body shop services with diagnostics, mechanical repairs and MOT testing. This is useful when damage affects more than the appearance of the car, or when other vehicle work needs to be discussed at the same time.
We welcome enquiries from across Peterborough, including Bretton, Longthorpe, Werrington, Hampton, Orton, Stanground and Yaxley. All visits are to our garage at Unit 4, Saville Road, PE3 7PR.

Sometimes, but suitability depends on the dent, panel access and paint condition. We assess the damage before recommending paintless removal or a conventional repair and refinish.
Paintwork, panel refinishing and resprays are included in our body shop services. Contact us to discuss the scope of the work, the vehicle’s current condition and the finish you are looking for.
Photographs help with an initial conversation, but an inspection may be needed before the repair can be confirmed. Hidden damage, panel alignment and surface condition are not always clear in an image.
