Around 17 years ago some franchise dealers and local motor garages of the time, tired of paying expensive bodyshop prices for the repair of minor vehicle damage, ie mirror casing repairs, and surface scratches , were approached by a handull of new startup business willing to travel to the dealers site, set up there equipment and repair these small car body repairs, at a fraction of the cost.

These companies were very much limited by the size and types of repair that they could undertake, mainly by the types of materials that they were using, because by and large, these consumable were very much for the use of professional bodyshops, with there equipment and drive in ovens for baking off the finished repair.

These early repairs carried out by the pioneers in this industry were sometimes likely to perish within a relatively short period of time, due to the use of inferior single pack laquer to clearcoat over basecoat.

Around 1998 I came into this area of mobile car repair, and immediately saw an opportunity to establish a local smart repair specialist company, and straight away started to seek out specialist products, specifically targeted towards a more localised repair, I placed the need for a superior quality twin pack laquer at the top of my wish list.

This task took some time, around a year and a half to be more precise.  But eventually I was satisfied that I had created a smart repair system that would not only leave a superb and brilliant lustre finish, but would last the lifetime of the painted vehicle, without deteriorating in quality.

By creating this revolutionary paint system specifically for mobile car body repairs,  Motor Gleam the company that I subsequently created on January 2000 has been able to carry out repairs to mirror casings, car vandal scratches, bumper repairs, paintwork repairs, alloy wheel repairs and stonechip repairs for any vehicle.  We decided also to make this service available to the general public for the first time, and still have customers and their families using us to this day, some twelve years later.  Further to this we still have trade customers that we managed to obtain during our first sales drive and they are  still using us to this day, a fact that we as a company are extremely proud.

Over these years, many smart repair companies have come and gone, with a select few still in business today, offering a high level of customer service, and quality of work produced.  So whenever you are searching for a company do a mobile car paint repair in either Nottingham or derby, make sure that you use a company that can back up their sales literature, with a proven track record.

Over the years we have completed over 15,000 individual smart repairs, and over the coming months we will be publishing some in depth articles regarding some of the more specialist repairs.  We also have a small selection of images of some of our more recent repairs available to view on our facebook page, take a look, and join us @ www.facebook.com/motorgleam.

Further to our plans for expansion this year we are proud to announce the launch of our car touch up paint kit website, these kits allow customers to repair the small stonechips and scratches  for a small outlay if the damage does not warrant paying for either a mobile car body smart repair or a bodyshop repair.  So please take a look as prices for our kits start from only £11.95 including delivery.

Thanks for reading a brief outline of our companies history of smart repairs in Nottingham and derby, keep up with our blog for paintwork, car care and maintainance hints & tips in the coming months.

Thanks again for visiting,

The local motor trade scene kept surprisingly bouyant, especially at the garages, both privately owned and franchise, that we do the Car Body Repairs for.

This month I will concentrate on one of our largest accounts Bristol Street Citroen Nottingham, and they had a great month for sales, both new and used, fuelled by some fantastic marketing of there special offer, especially on there used vehicles,

We only do the minor repairs ie mirror casing scratches, seat repairs, alloy wheel and general scratches and stonechip repairs, with any larger repairs heading off for there citroen approved bodyshop,

But with the high turnover of used car stock, this has led to help us toward a busy month on our trade car body repairs side of our business

Throughout May we will be extending our private customer program, with us offering a mobile Car Repair service to all areas of nottingham and derby, with no call out charge and all work coming with a lifetime(While you own the vehicle), almost unheard of in the motor trade.

Examples of our work and satisfied customers can be found on our facebook page, www.facebook.com/motorgleam so join us today to keep up to date with our work, and any special offers or competitions that we will be running throughout this year.

We have recently made significant investment in the latest range of alloy wheel colours, mixed exactly to manufactures specifications, meaning that you can have total peace of mind that your scratched or damaged alloy wheels can be repaired and restored to look like new again.

Our wheel repair services leave your wheels painted, and laquered using the highest quality twin pack laquer, unlike many of our competitors who use inferior cheaper single pack laquer, that just does not have the durability or finish of our superior products.

Ghosted chrome paint finish, are some of the latest and freshest wheel colours on todays market, the down side of this is that the ability to reproduce the original finish is limited to professionals using the latest and best products and techniques on the market today.

You can be assured that Motor Gleam achieves all these qualities and more, so get in touch today…

Combat the huge frustration, not to say hassle, if you have lost or damaged your alloy wheel locking nut key, as before we introduced this service for the trade and general public in our local area, you would have had to get your vehicle to a garage or workshop that was willing to take on the tedious and labour intensive job of drill, or chiselling out your locking wheel nut(s).

Previously this work would have taken up to 6 hours to remove a full set of four locking nuts,

but now thanks to our new mobile service covering nottingham and derby, we can come to your home or place of work, to safely and securely remove the required amount of wheel nuts, without the need for your to get your vehicle transported anywhere, especially useful if your tyre is damaged and the car is immovable.

Once an appointment is made, our operative will come to you, and using our precision engineered tooling, we will remove your locking nuts without damaging your alloy wheels.

We can remove over 95% of alloy wheel locking nuts on site, taking on average one to one and a half hours to remove a full set of four nuts,
