The rear door was replaced on my car. Sam and Ethan at Larklands were very helpful and accommodating to get the repair done. Nothing was too much trouble and the finish on the repair is faultless. I can thoroughly recommend Larklands and I wouldn't use anyone else.
I had a group of unusual scratches on the front of my Mercedes which were annoying and seemed to be under the clear coat. The whole experience with Larklands has been great with Sam and the team taking care of things, without fault. The front has been resprayed and the colour match is very good indeed. To add to this, the price was also very reasonable considering the size of the area being sprayed and the work involved. Would recommend!
Had my Vauxhall Corsa repaired by Larklands and couldn’t be happier with the result. The work was done to a high standard and the car looks spot on. I’ve used Larklands before and will continue to do so — they’re consistently reliable and easy to deal with. Big thanks to Sam and Ethan for looking after everything. Communication was great throughout and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Service! I recently had my car repaired and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The service was seamless and highly professional from start to finish. The team did a fantastic job with the repairs – the workmanship was top-notch and clearly done with care and attention to detail. I was provided with a spotlessly clean courtesy car, which made the whole process even more convenient. Communication throughout was excellent – I was kept informed every step of the way, and the staff made me feel like a truly valued customer. Everyone I dealt with was extremely efficient and accommodating, going above and beyond to make the experience as smooth as possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. A great example of how car repairs should be done!
Requested to my insurance company for Larklands to repair my Peugeot 508 GT after a bump damaging bumper and bonnet. Due to damage behind the bumper to the cross member bar, the insurance company wrote the car off as CAT S and advised me NOT to buy the car back to get it repaired myself as it would cost more than the car was worth. Larklands disagreed as they could repair / replace more cost effectively on a private basis, and definitely worth it as the car is low mileage and otherwise in very good condition. So I bought the car back, and for less than the insurance payout, Larklands have repaired / replaced only what was needed on the vehicle. It looks immaculate with a full valet before picking it up and it drives perfectly. Many thanks to Sam, Ethan, and the team for not only caring for the car but getting the right outcome for me at the right price.
Excellent service and repair to my Evoque following a minor accident when car was only a few months old. Communication was easy and clear instructions were given about using this Land Rover approved body shop (although it did not appear in my insurers approved list). Sam could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended!
I approached Larklands to do a paint job on my 1973 Datsun 240z restoration project. Larklands completely stripped the car down to bare metal and removed all the glass and started on repairing and removing the rust (which turned out to be a 'little' more than expected - it is a Datsun after all!). The work carried out was to an exceptional level and Sam and his team (especially Scott) were a pleasure throughout (even through all the issues encountered along the way). I can wholeheartedly recommend Larklands for your restoration project paint jobs...and have added some pics below (final colour not revealed yet!).
Absolutely 5 star service from Sam and the team at Larklands! They resprayed the whole bonnet on my Jaguar F-Type and did an excellent first class job. Professional, helpful and great communication. Sam even recommended other companies that I asked could help me with some other issues I had with the car, who ended up being excellent too - nothing in it for him, just an example of what great customer service they provide. Thanks Sam, you're a huge credit to the business.
I have just had my car back from Larklands, and the finished repair is amazing, the standard of workmanship is excellent. The staff are very professional, courteous and helpful, a real pleasure to talk to, they really try to provide you with the level of support you expect from a company offering premium bodywork services. This is the second time that I have used them, the first paint repair I had done with them was a few years ago and on a different car. The quality was so good that I didn't consider going anywhere else when my current car was damaged across three panels. The finished result is incredible, you can't tell where I had the repair done, they have blended it in perfectly. Would I use them again in the future, most definitely yes, they have given me an excellent all round service both times.
Excellent job painting my 1979 classic Mini Clubman Estate. Paul seems to know almost everything there is to know about Minis, and the bodyshop team carried out the work quickly, efficiently and with a clear pride in their work. Would deffo use again.
