Before 2018 we only held the VWG approval which we gained in 1987, which we are so proud of to be one of the longest running in the UK.

Today we gained our latest approval for Nissan with the continued support of Marshall Motor Group, making sure that we hold the vehicle manufacturer approvals for the brands we look after for them.

This takes us now to more than 10; we have never been a Bodyshop that collects approvals for the sake of it but instead to support our partners.

Most bodyshops within our industry have work directed to them by insurance companies or accident management companies where they dictate not only the costs but how the repairs are carried out, which in some cases means using parts of written off vehicles.

We are different where we hold multi vehicle manufacturer approvals alongside relationships with many main dealers who recommend customers directly. We believe cars should be repaired back to pre-accident condition, correctly and safely before costs.

Summers Accident Repair Centre are a 5th generation independent family owned Bodyshop that have been on the same site since 1926. We are industry wide recognised for award winning customer service and quality of work, especially with the VWGroup vehicles including Audi, Cupra, Seat, Skoda, Volkswagen passenger cars and Volkswagen light commercials. Alongside Honda, Suzuki, Toyota & Lexus, Lotus and Hyundai.
We also carry out Bodywork on any brands and makes to the highest standards while providing amazing customer service.

A rare before and after post showing an extensive repair on an Audi RS4.
Not only did the car sustain bodywork damage but also rear suspension which required multiple replacement parts as well as repairs to the rear quarter panel.

All repairs carried out by us receive an Authenticity Guarantee Repair Certificate directly from the brand which includes Audi, Cupra, Seat, Skoda, Volkswagen passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

There are many benefits of using a vehicle manufacturer approved Bodyshop.

Manufacturer Repair Methods: Doing It the Right Way

We don’t guess — we follow exact instructions. Every vehicle we repair is restored using official manufacturer repair methods, ensuring your car is returned to its pre-accident condition without shortcuts. This means enhanced safety, retained value, and complete peace of mind.


Trained by the Experts, for the Experts

Our technicians aren’t just skilled — they’re manufacturer-trained professionals. With deep expertise in the specific technologies, structures, and systems of today’s vehicles, they know exactly how to repair your car the way it was designed to be repaired.


Only the Right Materials

From the first primer to the final clear coat, we use only manufacturer-approved paints and materials. This guarantees a perfect colour match, lasting finish, and no issues with warranty or corrosion protection down the line.


Tools of the Trade — Literally

Our workshop is equipped with the latest manufacturer-approved tools and equipment, meaning we can tackle even the most advanced repair challenges with accuracy and efficiency.


Fully EV Accredited

Electric vehicles aren’t the future — they’re the now. And we’re ready. Summers is fully EV accredited, ensuring our team has the training, tooling, and facilities required to safely and expertly repair electric and hybrid vehicles from all leading manufacturers.


ADAS Compliant Repairs

Modern vehicles are loaded with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — from lane-keeping to emergency braking. We’re fully ADAS compliant, meaning we recalibrate these systems precisely, so your vehicle’s safety features perform exactly as intended after repair.


Genuine Parts. No Exceptions.

We believe in fixing your car the right way — no knockoffs, no shortcuts. That’s why we use only genuine manufacturer replacement parts, preserving your vehicle’s performance, safety, and warranty integrity.

Summers Accident Repair Centre has stood the test of time — not just by keeping up with the industry, but by leading it. Our family-run business has earned national recognition for excellence, innovation, and above all, customer care. For a long time we’ve never lost sight of what matters most: quality work, done right, by people who genuinely care.

When accidents happen, trust the bodyshop where tradition meets technology — trust Summers Accident Repair Centre.

A very interesting video from our great friends at Chaplane explaining your rights after an accident. Some great advice from Paul, certainly worth a quick watch. Also some of the points we explain to our customers to help them understand when having an insurance claim.

Something we take pride in is helping a customer keep their pride and joy. This Lexusis the largest structural repair we have carried out since we have been approved by them and Toyota UK

Using the Total loss avoidance program makes so much sense, enabling us to repair the vehicle correctly and safely while using only brand new OE-parts, returning it to its pre-accident standard.

Working closely alongside a great supporting dealership partner like Steven Eagell Group helps massively with not only parts supply but customer loyalty and retention to the brand.
