What We Do

Every repair, done once, and properly.

When your vehicle is damaged, the last thing you want is to compromise on the repair. At Stanways, every job is treated as if it were our own car. Whether you've had a kerb scuff, a minor knock or a major collision, we restore your vehicle to manufacturer standards and put it through our full BS10125 quality checks before it comes home.

Collision & Crash Repair

Full structural and panel repair. Frame straightening, panel replacement, paint matching, refinishing. From minor bumps to major collision damage.

Paint & Respray

Two down-draught spray booths with full bake cycles and UV curing on fast-track jobs. Computerised colour matching. Whole-vehicle resprays and panel repaints to manufacturer finish standard.

Wheel Alignment

Hunter WA450 four-wheel alignment. Every accident repair leaves with a full alignment check and printout.

ADAS Calibration

Modern vehicles need their cameras and radar recalibrated after almost any front-end repair. We do this on site, not at a third party.

EV & Hybrid Repair

IMI Level 4 EV qualification in house. Electric and hybrid vehicles are handled safely, with high-voltage isolation and battery checks.

Commercial & Fleet

Two down-draught booths large enough for long-wheelbase vans, motorhomes and light commercials. We handle fleet contracts, including 50-vehicle turnarounds.

Structural Aluminium

Modern cars mix steel and structural aluminium in a single shell. Our dedicated aluminium bay repairs both to manufacturer method.

The Stanways Process

BS10125. Zero shortcuts.

BS10125 is the British Standard for accident repair. We have passed audit with zero non-conformances in 2024, 2025 and 2026, and structural aluminium is within our 2026 scope.

Every vehicle goes through the same sequence: damage appraisal, structural assessment, parts ordering (OEM where required), repair, refinish, alignment, ADAS calibration, quality check, valet, handover.

Why it matters: BS10125 means your repair is documented, your parts are traceable, and your vehicle's safety systems are restored to the standard the manufacturer intended. If you ever need to show the quality of a previous repair, for example when selling, insuring or making a warranty claim, you have it in writing.

Our Equipment

Built for the modern car.

A purpose-built 2024 facility with IMI qualified technicians, a dedicated EV bay, a structural aluminium bay kept separate from steel repair, and ADAS calibration done in house.

Two down-draught spray booths

Full down-draught booths with gas bake and UV curing on fast-track jobs. Two booths, so work does not queue behind a single drying cycle.

Hunter WA450 wheel alignment

Four-wheel alignment with a full printed report on every job.

ADAS calibration rig

Front camera, radar, lane-assist recalibration done on-site, not subcontracted.

EV-safe workshop

A dedicated EV bay, high-voltage isolation procedures and IMI Level 4 EV qualification in house.

Structural aluminium bay

A dedicated, separated bay for structural aluminium repair, within our audited BS10125 scope. Aluminium and steel never share tools or space.
