Sussex Bodyworks is a rare “one-stop shop.” We combine expert mechanical knowledge with high-end bodywork and spraying, meaning you don’t have to juggle multiple garages to get your car back on the road.

1. General Bodywork & Repairs

We handle the “bread and butter” jobs that keep your car looking sharp and maintain its resale value.

• Lease Car Returns (Our Speciality): Avoid those heavy “end of lease” penalty charges. We can repair scuffs, dents, and chips for a fraction of what the dealership will charge you.
• Bumper Scuffs & Parking Dents: Precision repairs to make those annoying mishaps disappear.
• Headlight Restoration: Improving safety and aesthetics by clearing cloudy, aged lenses.
• Machine Polishing: Restoring the depth and shine to tired paintwork.

2. The VW Camper Niche (T2, Brazilian & Danbury)

We have a deep passion for classic campers. We specialise in the Brazilian-built VW T2 and Danbury conversions. These icons deserve specialist care that “standard” garages simply can’t provide.

• Full Colour Change Resprays: Giving your van a fresh, custom look.
• Rust & Panel Replacement: Cutting out the rot and replacing it with fresh metal to keep the dream alive.
• Structural Welding: Specialist welding to ensure your classic passes the MOT and stays safe on the road.
• The Perfect Match: Using our Spectrophotometer (digital colour-scanning technology), we guarantee an exact colour match, solving the biggest challenge in classic restoration.

3. Mechanical, MOTs & Diagnostics

We aren’t just about the looks. Stuart’s 25 years of experience extends deep into the engine bay:

• Full Servicing & MOT Prep
• Computerised Diagnostics: Finding the fault quickly to save you money.
• General Repairs: Brakes, suspension, and engine work.

4. Why Our Quality is Different

We don’t cut corners on materials. We use the same brands used by high-end restoration houses:

• Octoral: Our on-site water-based mixing scheme for perfect colour accuracy.
• Spectral 565 Lacquer: For a durable, high-gloss professional finish.

Mirka & Indasa: Premium sanding and masking products to ensure the prep work, the most important part of any job, is flawless.
