Expert Bodywork and Paint Restoration
FOR PERFORMANCE AND PRESTIGE VEHICLES
The body shop team have over 30 years' experience working on performance vehicles. This wealth of hands-on expertise means we understand the unique challenges that come with repairing and refinishing modified cars, low-slung sports cars, and high-value performance machines. We're not a volume bodyshop churning out insurance work – we're specialists who appreciate that your car is more than just transport, and we treat every vehicle with the care and attention it deserves. From minor cosmetic repairs and paint touch-ups through to full resprays and accident damage restoration, our team has the skills and facilities to deliver showroom-quality results.
Our bodywork services cover everything you'd expect from a professional facility: dent removal, panel replacement, bumper repairs, alloy wheel refurbishment, and full paint correction. We work with modern water-based paint systems in our state-of-the-art spray booth, ensuring perfect colour matching and a flawless finish that will stand the test of time. Whether you're looking to repair accident damage, restore faded or damaged paintwork, change your car's colour entirely, or modify bodywork to accommodate new aero components or wide-arch kits, we have the expertise to execute the work to the highest standards. We're equally comfortable working with insurance-approved repairs as we are with private commissions for owners who demand perfection.
Restoration
The Scooby Clinic body shop and paint shop deal with repairs, repaints and fabrications on all types of vehicles.
What sets us apart is our understanding of performance vehicles and their owners' expectations. We know that fitment tolerances matter, that panel gaps need to be spot-on, and that the finish needs to be absolutely perfect. Our team takes pride in their work and won't sign off on a job until it meets our exacting standards - because we know you'll notice the details. We also understand the modifications and unique requirements that come with performance cars, from working around aftermarket body kits and diffusers to colour-coding carbon fibre components. Your car will leave our workshop looking better than the day it rolled off the production line, with paintwork that gleams and bodywork that's arrow-straight.
Our VBRA accredited staff are renowned for producing a ‘Show Finish’ on all customers’ cars. Repaints are a speciality in any colour including a few extraordinary finishes. Comprehensive repairs and even specialty builds are bread and butter to our highly skilled and meticulous team. We approach every project whether its a 1950’s Cadillac restoration or a new build vehicle with the same level of attention.
Repairs
At Scoobyclinic we specialise in all aspects of bodywork whatever your needs, anything from a small dent to a custom respray
Our state-of-the-art body-shop comes complete with two full paint mixing schemes including a state of the art water based that meets the new stringent regulations regarding the environment & pollution.

These guys don't mess about. They're incredibly knowledgeable and provide fantastic customer service.I took my 2007 Impreza in for a remap, and instead of just loading the map and sending me on my way, they took the time to explain a few changes that would help me get the most out of it. They booked me back in once those were sorted.When I returned, they spotted a couple more issues that weren't quite right. Rather than turning me away, they went above and beyond to get everything sorted and make sure the remap could be done properly.Top-class lads with a genuine passion for what they do. Thanks again, really appreciate all the help 👍

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Absolutely spot on service from the very start. I had been in contact with Kev for a few months, looking for a very specific Impreza, so when one came up for sale, he let me know straight away and answered my many, many questions before I went to view/collect the car, nothing was too much trouble. It was 100% worth the 600 mile round trip to get it! Stunning, well maintained and the perfect spec that I wanted. Dan took me on a decent test drive so I could actually get a proper feel for the car and know if it was right for me and answered just a few more questions 😂 I will be heading back there for servicing and any other work I want done, I wouldn't take it anywhere else now. Best car buying experience I've ever had. Thank you Kev, and Dan, for all your time and patience during the process and for giving me the chance to finally buy my dream car 😍 I couldn't be happier 🤍

I’ve been using Scoobyclinic for years, Before I even bought my latest WRX STI, the team were incredibly helpful, taking the time to advise me on what to look out for, what potential issues to avoid, and what a fair price would be. That advice gave me the confidence to buy the right car. I’ve now owned four WRX STIs, and every single one has been to Scoobyclinic for cambelt work, servicing, or repairs. Their knowledge of Subarus is second to none, and no question is ever too trivial—they’re always happy to help and share their expertise. What has always impressed me is that, despite being genuine Subaru specialists, their pricing is extremely reasonable. You get specialist knowledge and workmanship without paying inflated specialist prices, which is becoming increasingly rare. I genuinely enjoy visiting the workshop. It’s like stepping into a living history book of Subarus, and you can immediately tell you’re surrounded by people who are passionate about what they do. The whole team are friendly, approachable, and exceptionally knowledgeable. If you own a Subaru, I can’t recommend Scoobyclinic highly enough.
