Manufacturer Approved Repairs
As Northern Ireland's only independent BMW-approved repair centre with 18 manufacturer accreditations, we use factory-specified equipment and trained technicians. Our repairs meet exact manufacturer standards for safety and longevity, covering brands like Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, and Audi. This ensures your warranty remains valid while maintaining vehicle integrity through approved methods.
Car Detailing
Our professional detailing includes paint correction, ceramic coatings, and interior deep-cleaning using industry-leading techniques. With over 50 years' experience in automotive refinishing, we restore vehicles to showroom condition. Services range from basic washes to full paint rejuvenation with protective treatments that enhance gloss and durability against weathering.
Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
We restore damaged alloy wheels caused by kerbing, potholes, and daily wear using specialist equipment. Our process removes scratches and corrosion while maintaining structural integrity. The service includes diamond cutting, powder coating, and protective lacquering to return wheels to their original finish without compromising safety standards.
Paintless Dent Removal
This technique removes minor dents without repainting by carefully manipulating metal back to its original shape. Ideal for hail damage or car park incidents, it preserves factory paint while offering faster turnaround times. We assess repairability through submitted damage photos before commencing work.
Structural Aluminium Repair
Specialist repairs for modern aluminium-bodied vehicles require controlled environments and dedicated tools to prevent material contamination. Our technicians follow strict manufacturer protocols for structural repairs, ensuring proper bonding and alignment of lightweight chassis components while maintaining crash safety performance.
