Selling or part-exchanging your car? Dealers and buyers knock money off for every scuff, scratch and kerbed wheel. Fix the cosmetic damage first and sell it looking right. Auto Serve Bodyworks prepares cars for sale at our bodyshop at 19 Corby Road, Park Royal, London NW10.
First impressions set the price
Buyers judge a car in seconds. Visible damage gives them an easy reason to haggle, and part-exchange valuers deduct for every mark they find.
A tidy-up often costs less than the damage knocks off the value, and the car can sell faster too. We’ll tell you honestly which repairs are worth doing.

Can you fix just one panel?
Yes. We repair only what’s needed, so you’re not paying for work that won’t add value.
