A Hornby repair shop that manages the whole insurance claim for you, start to finish. GLORY Panel & Paint is at 13–15 Smarts Road, and it takes accident damage, dents, hail damage and full resprays. The shop works with all major insurers, and the team handles the assessment, quote, approval and repair, so the car owner drops the vehicle off and the paperwork is taken care of. The shop also does pre-sale tidy-ups for private owners and motor dealers, and fleet scheduling for businesses. Paint is Spies Hecker waterborne, sprayed in the shop's own booth with computerised colour matching. Structural repairs are straightened on computerised measuring jigs. A free courtesy car is offered, and a free, no-obligation quote can be requested by sending photos.
Customers praise the team, and in particular the owner's approach of going beyond the job asked for, such as repainting a whole bonnet when only one area was failing. They mention clear communication, reasonable pricing, and a shop that helped one customer save money on a hail repair. One customer was shown how to fit their own centre caps, free of charge. Two other panel beaters sit within a kilometre on Open Locally's figures. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 7:30am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm.
