Visit our bodyshop in Royal Tunbridge Wells for the complete range of car body repairs. We welcome motorists from the nearby Uckfield area and offer them the best of both worlds by combining traditional skills from fields of classic car repair and classic car restoration with those used in modern accident repairs. Crash repairs, dent repairs or bumper repairs, we are the company to trust for all your bodywork needs.
On this page, we offer you a brief description of each of the services mentioned above so, should you choose to use us, you will have a better understanding of some of the terminology our workshop uses and what that terminology means to you.

A specific set of processes to complete car body repairs in the aftermath of a collision. We advise that prospective end users from Uckfield treat accident repairs and crash repairs as one and the same thing. Because of costs, most customers will claim for repairs through an insurer. The customer has the right to choose where they have their car repaired.
For smaller repairs, it is advisable to pay for them yourself so as not to lose a no-claims bonus unless it is protected.
A service specifically aimed at restoring the condition of car panels with dents. Hillary’s Coachworks performs traditional dent repairs using time-honoured panel beating skills, but we can also adapt this service so that motorists from Uckfield can have small impressions fixed at a lower cost. To do this, we use our own variation of mobile SMART repair technology.
This variation combines modern SMART repair systems with the most advanced paints and clearcoats for a finish that lasts.
Modern cars have plastic bumpers which damage easily and most bodyshops will automatically estimate for a replacement on jobs with major damage. We prefer to treat jobs individually and if we feel we can repair rather than replace to make the work more competitively priced for our Uckfield customers, we will. We always give bumper repairs our full consideration.
Should we need to replace, we source genuine parts from local suppliers who can deliver to us in Tunbridge Wells daily.
Hillary’s Coachworks offers a choice of services for vintage models. Classic car repairs are like modern car body repairs, and we generally use the same processes on any vehicle. With a classic car restoration, we cover everything from nut and bolt rebuilds to refinishing classics in matching factory colours. This is a field in which we are incredibly passionate.
We have covered Uckfield as coach and carriage builders since the 1800s so your classic will be in the very best hands.
