The Workshop

Expert Repairs. Every Discipline.

Every bay in the building works to the same BS10125 discipline, from structural aluminium down to a kerbed alloy.

Our Story

A Legacy Continued.

Stanways has been a respected name in Lytham St Annes for over 50 years. When the original dealership closed in 2017, we seized the opportunity to carry that legacy forward, focusing entirely on what we do best.

In November 2023, with one month’s notice to vacate our premises, the team refused to be beaten. We purchased land at Queensway Park Farm, built a brand-new purpose-built facility, and never stopped repairing vehicles throughout. That included turning around 50 fleet vehicles in three days.

In December 2025 we received Hyundai manufacturer approval. Our BS10125 audits in 2024, 2025 and 2026 all returned zero non-conformances, with structural aluminium now in our audited scope. This is what commitment looks like.

Not Your Fault?

Were You the Innocent Party?

If the accident wasn’t your fault, you could be entitled to a repair funded by the at-fault driver’s insurer, typically with no excess for you, a similar-class courtesy vehicle and no impact on your no-claims bonus. (Subject to the other side’s insurer accepting liability.)

Repair funded by the at-fault insurer
Where liability is accepted, their insurer covers the repair. Typically no excess for you.
Similar-class courtesy vehicle
Drive the same class of car throughout your repair, where eligible.
No-claims bonus protected
Handled through the at-fault insurer, so your own policy needn’t be involved.
We handle everything
We deal with the third-party insurer directly, start to finish.
Electric & Hybrid Vehicles

EV Ready. Fully Equipped.

As electric and hybrid vehicles become the norm on UK roads, Stanways Autobodies is fully equipped to repair them safely and correctly, including high-voltage work many bodyshops have to turn away.

⚡ EV-Safe Repair Facility
Our site was specifically designed with EV safety in mind, including our fast-track system that reduces wheel rotation to minimise unintended charging risk when moving electric vehicles.
🔧 ADAS Calibration
All advanced driver assistance systems are recalibrated after repair: cameras, sensors and radar.
Hunter Geometry Centre

Precision. Every Degree Counts.

From daily drivers to track-prepared performance cars, our modern Hunter wheel alignment system delivers manufacturer-precise 4-wheel geometry on every vehicle, every time.

🎯 Hunter WA450 System
Computerised 4-wheel alignment with live data readouts and full printed reports for every job.

Our Story

From Humble Beginnings To Purpose Built.

With one month’s notice to leave our old premises in November 2023, we bought land, built a facility from the ground up, and never stopped working. This is our journey.

2017 – 2023
Where It Started
The Original Workshop
When we took over the Stanways name in 2017 we inherited a proud 50-year legacy. From this workshop we built our reputation: BS10125 certified, a growing team, a growing client base. But we always knew we needed more space to deliver the standard we demanded.
Nov 2023
The Moment Everything Changed
One Month’s Notice
With just 30 days to vacate our premises we faced a choice: find a new unit, or build our own. We chose to build. We purchased land at Queensway Park Farm and broke ground immediately. We never missed a single repair throughout.
2023 – 2024
Building Our Future
Built From The Ground Up
Every square metre designed specifically for modern vehicle repair. The steel frame went up, floors were poured, spray booths installed. While the build was underway, the team continued repairing vehicles, including 50 fleet vehicles turned around in three days.
Early 2024
Taking Shape
The Cladding Goes On
The distinctive dark steel cladding that defines our new facility taking shape at Queensway Park Farm. Designed to accommodate long-wheelbase commercial vehicles, EV-safe infrastructure, and dual Rowley spray booths from day one.

Ready For Business
Welcome to Stanways
A modern reception, brilliant white walls, LED lighting throughout. The new Stanways Autobodies opened in 2024. Purpose-built, modern, and BS10125 certified with zero non-conformances from day one.

“Stanways were amazing repairing my car after 2 people drove into it in the same week. They collected my car, the work is superb, the boot closes better than when it was new and they cleaned it within an inch of its life. Personable, lovely customer service. Really fast turnaround too.”
