A family-run accident repair centre in Lytham, established 1974. Hyundai manufacturer approved, and BS10125 certified with zero non-conformances across our 2024, 2025 and 2026 audits. We work out of a facility we designed and built ourselves in 2024.
Every bay in the building works to the same BS10125 discipline, from structural aluminium down to a kerbed alloy.










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.
Drag the line. This is the standard every vehicle leaves to.
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.)
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.
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.
You can ask your insurer to authorise Stanways as your chosen repairer. Your policy terms may affect excesses and courtesy car cover, so we help you check the position before work begins. We handle the process from there.
At Stanways we don't just repair cars, we build careers. We start our apprentices early, training the next generation of bodyshop technicians right here in Lytham St Annes.
Our apprentices work alongside experienced technicians across MET, panel repair and paint, learning every stage of the repair process to the BS10125 standard from day one.

“Stacey and the team at Stanways are simply brilliant! We have had the unfortunate ‘luck’ of needing them twice for third-party accidents. On both occasions the repairs, customer service and communication was genuinely first-rate. Can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“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.”
“Somebody smashed into my car at Liverpool airport. Stanways assured me I wouldn’t be able to tell where the damage was. Four days later I collected my car and the job was superb. I couldn’t tell at all. Stacey was brilliant throughout.”
