If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, it can be a stressful time sorting out repairs, paying the necessary costs and dealing with insurance companies. Let GL Coachworks take over. We specialise in repairing vehicles after accidents, and we do so in line with manufacturer repair methods, ensuring an exceptionally high standard repair, giving you peace of mind that your vehicle is safe.
Having a car with air conditioning can be a real advantage in the summer months, so it's important to ensure that your system is working efficiently. It's recommended that your air-con system is recharged with gas and lubricant every two years. This is also a good opportunity for a mechanic to ensure all components are working correctly, guaranteeing fuel efficiency.
Your wheels can be knocked out of alignment by potholes, speed bumps or kerbs, and these occasional little bumps can have costly consequences. If wheels are not in alignment, there will be uneven wear on your tyres; your car will feel like it's 'pulling' to one side, having to work harder to overcome the problem - and this will dramatically increase its fuel consumption.
Over time, day to day wear and tear can really take its toll on our cars; the odd stone, the acidic offerings from birds, the scuffs and scratches from inconsiderate drivers who park too close - they all cause the once sparkling paintwork to look a bit shabby. With a re-spray to your paintwork, we can totally transform your vehicle from dull and lacklustre to dazzling and eye catching.

Excellent workmanship and customer service. Visited for damaged bumper of car. Not only the work was so perfect and professional, they showed their generosity towards NHS worker. This just maintains my faith in humanity and kindness. Thank you so much for your hard work too for enabling us to do our job as well. highly recommended bussiness.

Shocking; had issues on wrt to a simple touch-up bumper repair 2 years ago. I needed to return car to have alignment corrected, rear light securely fixed, which was duly carried out. Today I am having a hitch fitted and the fitting company needed to remove some rear mouldings etc, only to discover that the moulding over the wheel arch had been stuck back on with high strength adhesive bonding agent rather than the correct screws. Nice surprise to find!

Nice guys, but poor quality of work. I went in for a wheel alignment, since they advertise having the Hunter equipment. I paid for the full 4 wheel alignment, and the car came back worse than when I took it in. The steering was all over the place. I suspected it wouldn't be a good job when they took about 30 minutes to do the whole job. I knew that was wrong because I'd had a Hunter wheel alignment done somewhere else previously. They only get a second star for being nice to my dog.

We were referred to this place by our insurance, the communication was terrible and they handed the car back to us still broken. After telling the insurance and coming back to ask them to fix it properly they tried to tell us it must have already been that way beforehand. It's not until we showed them the paperwork from the service we had done a couple of days before that they actually took ownership. They then had to get another garage to fix the problems and they decided to book the work in on the day we told them we couldn't take the car. Our wedding day. Which of course they had a huge attitude

I can't recommend enough. I've been to gl coachworks a few times now, for bodywork. 1st time they rectified a repair a previous garage had done. My car was hit while parked, I had been advised my car would have a new back panel and door, 9 months after having the repair my paintwork on the repair was all snake skinned. I complained to the other parties insurance company and they sent me to glcoachworks. They pointed out that the door and back panel had not been replaced and simply filled and painted. They were shocked at the job that had been done, and even pointed out my door had been put back
