We work directly with all major insurers and can handle the claims process on your behalf, making it as hassle-free as possible.
What is the most expensive body repair on a car?
The most expensive body repairs typically involve structural damage, such as repairing or replacing the car's chassis or frame after a major accident. These repairs often require specialist equipment, extensive labour, and realignment to factory standards.
How much do most body shops charge per hour?
In the UK, most body shops charge between £50 and £100 per hour, depending on the type of repair, location, and vehicle make. Prestige or specialist work may cost more. For an accurate quote for your repair, please contact us today.
Accident repairs & insurance work

We work directly with insurance providers while staying focused on what matters to you: a fair, detailed assessment, high-quality repairs, and clear communication throughout the process.

Worried about your excess rising if you go elsewhere? Don't be - we'll cover the difference if your insurer suggests a different repairer.
Dent & scratch repairs
Our paintless dent removal (PDR) and smart repair techniques restore your vehicle's bodywork without unnecessary respraying.
What is PDR?
PDR is a precise technique that removes minor dents without filling, sanding, or repainting. Using specialist tools, we gently reshape the panel from behind, making it a quick, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution for door dings, hail damage, and minor creases.
Full & partial resprays
Our expert resprays use advanced paint-matching technology to ensure the perfect finish.
- Full resprays: A complete repaint of your vehicle, ideal for restoring faded, sun-damaged, or heavily scratched paintwork, repairing accident damage across multiple panels, or changing the car's colour.
- Partial resprays: A targeted repainting of specific panels, such as bumpers, doors, or bonnets, to repair scratches, scuffs, or minor accident damage.
If you're unsure whether you need a full or partial respray, our experts will assess your vehicle and recommend

Alloy wheel refurbishment
If your wheels are scraped, scratched, scuffed, faded, bent, dented, or even split, alloy wheel refurbishment offers a cost-effective solution. Refurbishing is often a smarter choice than replacing, saving you money while keeping your vehicle looking its best. However, replacement might be the safer option in severe damage.
At DVB Automotive, our experts will assess your wheels and provide honest, professional advice on the best course of action. You can trust us to get your wheels looking as good as new - without breaking the bank.
