Stock that photographs well sells faster

Every scuffed bumper and kerbed wheel on your forecourt is either a discount conversation waiting to happen or a repair that pays for itself. We work with dealers, traders, valeters and garages across Kent to keep stock retail-ready without the bodyshop bottleneck.

Send photos of each vehicle (or a stock list with images) and we’ll return itemised pricing. We can work on site at your premises or take batches through the workshop — whichever keeps your prep line moving.

Pricing

Guide prices

Honest guide prices — a ballpark from your photos, the final figure confirmed at inspection.

RepairGuide price
Trade repair supportQuote / account pricing available
Multi-vehicle batch visitsItemised per vehicle
Regular weekly/fortnightly visitsBy arrangement

Prices are guide prices only. Final quote depends on damage size, location, paint type, colour, access, weather, and whether the repair is mobile-suitable or workshop-suitable. Send photos for an accurate ballpark.

What affects the price

  • Volume and regularity of work
  • On-site at your premises vs workshop batches
  • Mix of repairs per vehicle
  • Turnaround requirements

Mobile or workshop?

We can run repair days at your site — power and a corner of the yard is enough — or collect batches into the workshop. Most trade clients settle into a regular rhythm: send photos as stock lands, we prep in batches.

Photo guide

How to send photos for the fastest quote

  • One close-up of the damage, about 30–50cm away
  • One wider shot showing the whole panel or wheel
  • Vehicle make, model and colour (a photo of the whole car helps)
  • Your postcode so we can confirm coverage
  • Whether you’d prefer mobile or workshop

Daylight photos work best. Don’t worry about making it look good — we’re used to reading real-world photos.

Why photos first?

Photos let us quote quickly and honestly. We can usually tell straight away whether a mark will respond to SMART repair, whether it needs the workshop, or whether a bodyshop is the better route. That saves you time — and means the price we give you is one we can stand behind at inspection.

FAQ

Trade questions

Do you offer trade account pricing?

Yes — regular trade customers get account pricing and priority booking. Rates depend on volume and repair mix.

Can you work at our premises?

Yes, for suitable repairs. We bring everything needed; you provide power and space.

How do we send work to you?

WhatsApp photos per vehicle works well, or email a stock list with images. We return itemised quotes, usually same day.

What turnaround can we expect?

Typical prep repairs are same-day per vehicle. Batch scheduling is agreed up front so your sales team knows when stock is ready.
