Anyone can fill, sand and spray. The question is whether the repaired area still matches the rest of the car six months from now — same colour depth, same lacquer finish, same metallic flake under the sun. Most cheap repairs reveal themselves slowly. Ours don't.
We blend paint into adjacent panels so the repair area matches the whole car in any light. Industry-leading paint and lacquer systems, a cutting-edge spray booth, and technicians who've been doing this for two decades. If you can spot the repair afterwards, it wasn't done right — and we don't hand cars back like that.

It depends on the claim. A non-fault claim (someone hit you) shouldn't push your premium up — though some insurers still note it. A fault claim usually does. For smaller damage, lots of people choose to pay out of pocket rather than claim, especially if the repair cost is close to or below their excess. We can quote you a private price so you can compare before you decide.

Honestly, no. We're not trying to be. We use industry-leading paint and lacquer systems, and our spray booth and process are set up for finishes that hold up long-term. We're competitively priced for the quality — but if cheapest is the priority, we're probably not the right fit.
Yes — we read your car's paint code, mix to that, and adjust for age (paint fades and oxidises over time, so a brand-new factory-spec mix on a five-year-old car would actually stand out). We then blend into the adjacent panels so the transition is invisible in any light. That's the difference between a repair and a proper repair.
