Specialised Repairs for Modern Vehicles

The automotive landscape is constantly evolving, and at Bellshill, we stay at the forefront of technological advancements. We are fully equipped to carry out specialised repairs on:

• Refrigerated Vehicles: Accident damage to refrigerated units requires a delicate touch to maintain the integrity of the insulation and cooling systems. We perform both partial and complete panel replacement on these specialised vehicles.
• Hybrid and Fully Electric Vehicles (EVs): The increasing prevalence of hybrid and electric vehicles presents unique repair challenges. Our technicians are trained to handle the specific structural components and safety considerations associated with these advanced vehicles. We ensure that repairs are conducted in accordance with manufacturer guidelines to maintain the safety and performance of your EV.

Advanced Repair Technology: Jigs and Alignment

Precision is at the heart of every repair we undertake. To ensure that even the most severe structural damage is rectified accurately, we utilise state-of-the-art jig systems:

Josam Chassis and Cab Alignment Jigs

For the heaviest vehicles we encounter, including trucks and articulated tractor units, we have installed Josam chassis and cab alignment jigs. These sophisticated systems allow us to precisely measure and correct any twisting or deformation that may occur during a significant impact. Restoring the correct chassis alignment is critical for vehicle stability, handling, and tyre wear, and our Josam jigs ensure we achieve factory-standard tolerances.

Cellette Sevenne XL Jig

On the lighter side of our operations, we employ the Cellette Sevenne XL jig. This versatile jig is capable of accommodating all sizes of light commercial vans, including long wheelbase models. It provides a stable and accurate platform for structural repairs, ensuring that the vehicle's frame and body are returned to their original dimensions and integrity.

Our Purpose-Built Workshop Facilities

Our Bellshill facility boasts a purpose-built vehicle workshop designed for maximum efficiency and capability. The workshop comprises:

• 18 x 15m Bays: These spacious bays provide ample room for technicians to work comfortably and safely on vehicles of all sizes.
• Integrated Jig Systems: Each bay is equipped with either Cellette or Josam cab and chassis jigs, allowing for seamless transition between different vehicle types and repair requirements. This integrated approach means we can handle everything from minor van repairs to major structural work on large trucks and trailers under one roof.

Expert Technicians and Manufacturer-Approved Methods

The quality of our repairs is underpinned by the expertise of our highly trained technicians. We are committed to:

• Manufacturer Repair Methods: Our technicians exclusively follow manufacturer repair methods. This ensures that every repair is carried out to the exact specifications and standards set by the vehicle's original manufacturer, preserving the vehicle's safety and structural integrity.
• Genuine Manufacturer Parts: We use only genuine manufacturers parts in all our repairs. This commitment to authenticity guarantees compatibility, durability, and the best possible finish for your vehicle.
• IMI Standard Training: All our technicians are trained to the exacting standards of the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).
• Advanced Training: Many of our team members have undergone further specialised training at prestigious institutions such as the Mercedes-Benz Training Academy ITAS in Milton Keynes and GTG in South Street, Glasgow. This ongoing professional development ensures they are proficient in the latest repair techniques and technologies.

In-House Air-Conditioning Services

We also manage all our own air-conditioning gas requirements in-house. This capability allows us to efficiently service and repair vehicle air conditioning systems as part of the broader collision repair process, offering a more streamlined and convenient experience for our customers.
