When a car gets hit, dented, kicked, or scraped, the metal underneath is often still saveable. Replacing a panel costs hundreds of pounds in parts plus the labour to fit and align it. Beating the original panel back into shape — properly — usually costs less, looks better, and keeps the car’s original metal where it belongs.
We’ve spent years working on everything from daily-driven hatchbacks to classic restorations and 4×4 projects. The same toolkit, the same patience.
What we do
- Dent and crease repair without replacement
- Wing, door, bonnet, boot, and quarter-panel reshaping
- Welding and stud-pulling for sections that have been pushed in
- Filler-and-flat work where it actually belongs (small final imperfections, not as a metalwork shortcut)
- Prep and primer ready for spray, or to your paint shop’s standard if you want it sprayed elsewhere
Why JD for panel work
We’re an independent workshop in Camberwell. There’s no front-desk middleman charging a markup — the person quoting the job is the person doing the job. If a panel is too far gone, we’ll tell you. If a replacement is cheaper than the labour, we’ll tell you that too. Honest first, then we get on with it.
