 Paintless Dent Removal:
 Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) involves the use of special tools and rods to “massage” dents out of panels to restore them to their original condition, without having to paint the panels. Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is suitable for small dents where the paint surface has not been broken.
Plastic Repair:
Plastic areas such as bumpers, door mirrors and spoilers can easily be damaged. Plastic parts can be restored to their original condition; even textured finishes can be recreated.
Upholstery Repair:
The most hardwearing upholstery can get snagged or torn, or even burned by cigarette ash. Cloth and leather upholstery can be repaired almost invisibly to restore your vehicle’s look.

Chip and Scuff Repairs:
Stone chips and other minor damage looks unsightly once it begins to accumulate, especially on dark coloured cars. But worse still, because the stone chips, scratches and scuffs have penetrated your paint, you car will be prone to rust. Once rust sets in it is very difficult to remove.
 Alloy wheels are often one of the first places that wear and tear becomes obvious. Scratches and scuffs from a kerb when parking, damage from potholes in the road or chips and dents from everyday driving can be quickly and easily restored.
In 99.9% of cases we fully refurbish the wheel, with the tyre off.
All alloy wheels are shot-blasted by hand to remove previous layers of lacquer and paint to obtain a bare metal surface in preparation for coating. If the wheels are in a particularly poor condition they are chemically stripped before shot-blasting. The alloy wheels are then dressed and filled to deal with any kerb damage to the rim edges.
(We do not deal with buckled or badly dented wheels as these are safety related structural repairs and wheels should be written off and replaced).
Next the wheels are heated to remove any air from the alloy and a powder coat finish is applied and then cured for for a set period of time. If the wheel is having a "special" or "bespoke" finish a wet paint layer is applied at this stage. Finally a clear lacquer coat is applied over the first coating in the same manner, thus enhancing and protecting the alloy wheel.
 Car window tinting is one of the best ways to improve the look of your vehicle. It adds style and elegance to the appearance as well as many other benefits.

 Acton Coachworks will always first try to repair your windscreen before replacing it with a new one, saving you both time and money.
Sometimes though, the type, size and position of the damage will mean that the whole windscreen needs to be replaced.
Why should I get my windscreen repaired:
- any chip left untreated may at end time spread quickly resulting in a crack to the windscreen. If this happens when you are driving, this could seriously affect your safety. Also, you will then need to have your windscreen replaced, a much more costly option.
- windscreen chips or cracks can cause your vehicle to fail its MOT
- Windscreen repair can save you money. Some insurance companies charge an excess for windscreen replacement.
- windscreen damage can reduce the effectiveness of airbags.
