While we do plenty of work for various insurance companies we are not affiliated or associated with a particular insurer. We offer car insurance claim assistance which can really save you time and money if you've been unfortunate enough to be involved in a vehicle accident. Being an independent body shop allows us to be impartial with our recommendations and to offer a fully comprehensive service.

I popped in after having some concerns with my car, after a test drive Motts found nothing wrong with the vehicle, but did mention about my adaptive cruise control. They were able to point me in the direction of another garage, who have been just as accommodating and friendly. Cannot fault Motts and their genuine, happy to help service. Thank you.

Unfortunately I needed body repairs to my car and after looking around I decided to try Motts. They did a fantastic job, really professional and were really friendly and helpful. Paul spoke about my cars for a little while which gave me confidence that I'd chosen the right place to send my car and the job they did was superb. The website is excellent with many fine examples of the the work they have done - I highly recommend them.

Ok ,where do I start, my triumph stag went in for what I thought was just to put new wheel arches on, however it turned out to be a lot more involved than I thought, to say there was a lot of holes rust,would be an understatement, the car was at mottos garage for about two years , mainly due to the amount of work needed and of course COVID. The work carried out was extensive,lots of panels needed replacing and a lot of welding,all through the process I was kept informed and had regular updates. As you can see from the photos the car has turned out brilliant and I am so happy with the end result

A spectacular service was provided by the team at Mott's body repair from beginning to end. They were communicative, responsive and thoughtful. The repair job could have been hugely inflated and these guys proved themselves trustworthy and diligent. The end result is superb and I am astonished at how efficiently they turned the car around. The vehicle is a Porsche 911 Turbo S and three panels were scraped. The team also had the wheels refurbished and put back on the vehicle and tightened to the required 600 N-m (that's tight!) without fuss. In short: use these people and listen to their advice

Definitely recommend! After being quoted almost 4 times as much somewhere else as I was here, i was relieved to have found them. The whole team were professional and genuine and my car looks good as new. From the first phone call made to them to picking up my car, amazing service.

Twice these lovely people have repaired my bumper (one my fault and one not) in a matter of minutes when other garages have quoted around £650 for a replacement bumper.
Motts not only are polite and helpful but are creative in fixing things that other garages can’t be bothered with and who want to charge the earth. I have complete confidence that they will give a good service honestly and with a smile.
I can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend them.
