Accident Repairs at Your Trusted Car Bodyshop in Copthorne | R&P Accident Repair Centre Ltd

What R&P Accident Repair Centre’s veteran technicians do is somewhere between an art and a science; like art restorers working on neglected paintings, we have to identify the underlying cause for particular problems before applying the appropriate repair methods – in our case anything from SMART repairs to dent repairs, and other forms of bodywork repairs still – so that once we’re finished, you cannot even tell the damage occurred in the first place!

But when it comes to the general process of making use of a car bodyshop and accident repair centre, motorists in the Copthorne area can expect a consistent, strict order of proceedings that ensure speedy turnaround and a smooth, problem-free experience for each and every customer. Below, we’ve looked to run through the road to restoration…

The Road to Restoration

Your Vehicle Arrives With Us – You may choose to drive your vehicle to our car bodyshop and accident repair centre yourself, as we’re just a short drive from the Copthorne area in nearby Lingfield. However, keep in mind we offer a convenient pick-up and drop-off service for all car body repairs, including SMART repairs, dent repairs and more comprehensive crash repairs. At this point, we log your vehicle’s details in our system, and securely store it. You may require a courtesy car, and if so, we’ll ensure it gets to you so you aren’t left stranded without vehicle access.

We Assess the Damage – Now we’ll carry out diagnostics and assess the damage, and be able to give you an estimated time for completion. Obviously, major accident repairs will take longer than simple dent repairs or SMART repairs, for example. We’ll pass on our findings directly to your insurance provider, if you require us to. This simplifies the process of getting any required crash repairs or general bodywork repairs covered, and is part of our commitment to quality customer service. Copthorne clients will then receive a quote which we guarantee to be competitive, as ensuring repairs are affordable is part of the core philosophy at our car bodyshop and accident repair centre.

Our Technicians Get to Work – With the preliminary essential aspects of the project out the way, we can get to what we do best – carrying out expert car body repairs to restore your vehicle to its former condition. If needed, we’ll dismantle your vehicle to better access the damage site. We’ll then use the specialist equipment we’ve invested in over the years – such as our Junair oven, car bench jig and oversized spray booth – to ensure that our technicians can best put to work their 180 years of shared experience. Once accident repairs are complete, we’ll carry out a thorough inspection and general check over to ensure perfect colour matching and total restoration.
