Welcome to Headley Bodyshop, a cornerstone of automotive excellence with over two decades of dedicated service. Established in 1990, our journey began in a modest workshop in Headley, where we quickly built a formidable reputation for high-quality workmanship and unparalleled customer service. Our commitment to growth and client satisfaction led us to invest in a substantial 25,000 square feet, purpose-built facility in 2009. This expansion allowed for significant modernisation, including the installation of state-of-the-art spray booths and ovens, with one specifically designed to accommodate larger commercial vehicles like high-top Sprinters. Whether you're a trade professional or a private individual, Headley Bodyshop is equipped to meet your needs, offering a full spectrum of services for all makes and models of vehicles.

We are equipped to handle everything from minor cosmetic blemishes to significant structural damage resulting from accidents. Our skilled technicians utilise the latest techniques and equipment to ensure that your vehicle is restored to its pre-accident condition, maintaining its aesthetic appeal and structural safety.
