What is car wing repair?
Car wing repair restores the shape, surface and paint of the wing, the exterior side panel. We assess damage from minor collisions, kerb impacts and weather.
Repair preserves safety and appearance.
Wing repair at AutoPop
Wing repair uses calibrated tools, fillers and automotive paint. AutoPop is an Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) business member, 51640, and uses BS 10125-led methods.
The workshop holds liability insurance protecting against accidental damage during repair. Customer feedback is available through the reviews page, without an unverified service-quality claim.
What information does wing repair assessment need?
Wing repair assessment records registration, make, model, year, insurance details, incident description and photographs of dents, scratches and rust. We review images from multiple angles alongside the damage record.
We carry out insurer-authorised repairs when your insurer instructs us. We are not part of a branded insurer network. The claim record includes the policy excess and the insurer's claim form if required.
How does wing repair work?
Wing repair follows inspection, preparation, panel work, painting and final polishing.
Inspection and repair decision
We inspect deformation, paint loss and underlying metal damage before deciding between repair and panel replacement.
Materials and preparation
We select filler, primer and paint for the repair, sand the surface and apply protective coatings before painting. Computerised colour matching uses a spectrophotometer.
Repair and finishing
We straighten the wing, fill dents, sand and apply paint coats, then polish the surface. We match the finish to blend with surrounding panels.
What affects wing repair cost?
Wing repair cost depends on damage extent, parts, labour, dent size, structural reinforcement and paint finish.
Typical range for localised paintwork repairs and refinishing: £150 – £350 per panel (AutoPop price guide, 2026). The written estimate after inspection sets the price.
Hidden damage found after strip-down changes the scope and final bill. We agree extra work with the customer first.
Payment occurs after repair, with cash, card or workshop finance options.
What guarantee applies to wing repair?
Wing repair carries a 2-year workmanship guarantee for qualifying repairs, excluding fair wear and tear, later accidents and other damage after repair.
Repair guarantee coverage concerns weld integrity, filler quality and paint-finish durability.
Guarantee assessment uses the repair issue, photographs and service record. We assess eligibility before corrective work.
Frequently asked questions about wing repair
Wing repair assessment covers the extent of damage, repair timing and vehicle movement.
How long does wing repair take?
Simple wing dents finish within a day; larger or complex damage requires several days, depending on labour and materials.
Is the vehicle driven during repair?
A structurally sound wing permits driving; some shops recommend towing to prevent further damage.
What happens with extensive damage?
Wing replacement uses a new or refurbished part where the panel cannot be restored. We use OEM or quality-matched parts, or insurer-specified parts where the insurer requires them.
