Panel and paint · partner bodyshop, Dorchester
Car body repairs and resprays in Dorchester.
Bodywork is handled by the bodyshop on the same trading estate that we have worked alongside for years. Tell us what happened, we put it in front of them and keep track of it — you deal with one phone number.
Send us a photo of the damage
The fastest way to a rough price is a photograph. Send one on WhatsApp with a line about what happened. We put it in front of the bodyshop and come back to you with a guide figure and what they would need to see in person.
Accident and panel repair
From a dented wing to structural work. They will deal with the insurer directly if that is what you want.
One thing worth knowing: whatever an insurer tells you, you are always entitled to choose your own repairer. You do not have to use the one on their list.
Resprays and colour matching
Full and partial resprays, colour matched and sprayed in a proper booth, with panels blended so the repair does not sit differently in the light.
Modern metallics and pearls are the hard part — a panel that matches in the workshop and not in daylight is a job done twice.
Paint correction and detailing
Machine polishing, swirl removal and protection for paint that has gone flat but is otherwise sound. Often this is all an older car needs, and it costs a fraction of a respray.
Classic and restoration work
Older cars need patience and different methods. Ask us and we will tell you honestly whether it is a job for them and roughly how long it takes — these jobs are measured in weeks, not days.

We are on Grove Trading Estate in Dorchester, a few minutes from the town centre, and we regularly look after cars from Weymouth, Bridport, Blandford and the villages in between.
Panel and paint work is carried out by the bodyshop we partner with on Grove Trading Estate, not by MCHV Limited. We arrange it and stay the point of contact.
