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.

Update: So been back to the clinic for a brake upgrade and while there they had a look round it for me and found a couple of bits needed doing to save me bigger costs in the future. All repaired to the highest of standards thanks for saving me again guys keep it up.

Excellent customer service from the start, been a long project but come a long way as well, can't fault anything at all. Kev has been really helpful throughout, with comms and work done, Will be going back again in future that's for sure!! Cheers for all the help guys, appreciate it. 7 Year + Update: it's been over 7 years and I'm still with these guys, they've taken care of so many issues for me and I still won't go to anyone else for work even though visiting them is a 2.5 hour drive away. Their customer service is second to none and they treat me like fanily every time I come in. They've gone ABOVE AND BEYOND what any normal garage would put up with, so much so words genuinely can't describe how they've helped me through rock bottom times and not judged me or said a word about the state of my car, they were there for me and let me take my time sorting things out. I wouldn't recommend anyone else when it comes to who I go to work work on my scooby. My most heartfelt thanks to the whole team there, they work wonders and have a passion for subarus which I hope keeps shining as long as we can keep them running as I love them just as much. I'm sorry for putting you guys through what I have especially the apprentice that guys a freaking OG, he deserves a pay rise, but as well thank you for helping me keep my bucket of bolts going over the past near decade. You'll see me for as long as I can keep my Scoob going, thank you. Ps - don't tell anyone Dan makes a mean coffee or he'll kill me 👀😄

Ever since owning a Subaru I've always taken it staight to these guys if I need any work or simply some advice. After a recent accident, they repaired my car to a super high standard I couldn't have asked for more! The best subaru specialist in the UK

After recently purchasing a car I took it to scoobyclinic for an oil service and health check. The service was amazing and they really do have the right staff there. I asked a million questions and the staff was more than happy to offer advice. I only found out when I was there that they offer many services including engine and body work. I can not recommend them enough for your Subaru requirements.
