OUR STORY

Why we started Auto Body Clinic

Tas has been repairing and painting vehicles for more than seven years. He’s travelled the country repairing and painting vehicles as a contractor for several different companies, working across different departments and on all kinds of vehicles, including hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs). That includes nearly four years with the VW Audi group, where he gained a Level 3 qualification with Jaguar Land Rover. Thousands of vehicles later, he still has a real passion for the job.

After years of working for others, he wanted to build something of his own: a workshop that gives you dealership-quality work, faster and for less. He knows you need your car back quickly, and he wants every customer to get an amazing service, from the first message to collection.

Longer term, the plan is to grow Auto Body Clinic into a place that creates jobs and real futures for young people looking for a direction and a trade to get into.

HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT

A small workshop, not a big bodyshop

Big bodyshops are built for large accident repairs and insurance work. We’re built for the everyday damage most drivers actually have.

Small jobs done properlyWe focus on 1–2 panels per visit, 3 at most, so your vehicle isn’t sat waiting behind big accident repairs.
No upsellingWe only quote for what needs doing. If a smaller, cheaper repair will do the job, we’ll tell you.
Dealer-quality finish for lessThe same standards we worked to for main dealers, without main dealer prices.
DONE PROPERLY, INDOORS

Every repair done inside our workshop, never on your driveway

Paint needs clean, dry, controlled conditions to cure properly. That’s why every job is done indoors in our Longton workshop, not at the roadside.

✓Painted in a spray booth, away from wind, rain and dust
✓Dust extraction while sanding, so the surface stays clean
✓Daylight colour-matching lamps to check the match before and after painting
✓Max Meyer paint with professional-grade primers, fillers and lacquers
✓Trained on VW, Audi and Jaguar Land Rover vehicles, including hybrids and EVs
