Actual jobs, actual cars

Same car in both pictures.

Every one of these came through the door at Inglis Green Road. No stock photos and no borrowed pictures of somebody else's workshop.

Black Peugeot with the rear door and wing torn open and buckled after an accident Before
The same black Peugeot after panel repair and respray, with the door and wing straight and the paint matched After
Rear door and wing rebuilt and resprayed. Panel gaps back where they should be and the colour matched to the rest of the car.
Silver Vauxhall Corsa with a dented wing, cracked bumper and damaged headlight after a front end knock Before
The same Vauxhall Corsa after repair, with the bumper, wing and headlight back in line and the paint even across the front After
Front end put back together in one go. Bumper, wing and headlight, with the silver blended so the join does not show.
Close up of paint blistering and corrosion breaking through along the boot lid of a dark grey Subaru Before
The same Subaru boot lid after the corrosion was cut out and the panel refinished, with a clean even edge After
Corrosion creeping along a boot lid. Cut back to clean metal, treated and refinished, rather than painted over and left to come back.

A full respray, start to finish

What comes through the door

All makes, all models. If it can be painted, we'll paint it.

Dents and scratches

Car park scuffs, trolley dings, kerbed bumpers, the lot. Small or large, panel work is the bread and butter here.

Full and part resprays

Colour matched properly so the repaired panel does not sit half a shade off the one beside it. Single panels through to full cars.

Accident repair

Anything from a bumper knock to a serious shunt. We handle the damage assessment and keep the whole thing as painless as we can.

Alloy wheel refurbishment

Kerb rash tidied up and refinished. The cheapest thing on this list and the one that makes the biggest difference to how a car looks.

Welding

Rust patches and structural repairs, including the ones other garages have already told you are not worth doing.

Body kits

Supplied, fitted and finished, so it looks like it came off the line that way rather than bolted on afterwards.

Leaving a lease or company car back soon? Bring it in before the inspection. Sorting the scuffs here almost always beats what the lease company will charge you for them.

Think before you phone the insurer

A claim costs you more than you think.

On a minor repair you pay your excess, your premium goes up at renewal and your no claims bonus takes the hit. All to fix something that often costs less than the excess itself.

Get a written estimate from us first. If claiming is genuinely the better route we will tell you so, and we work with insurers every day. If it is not, you have saved yourself a lot of money with one phone call.

Who you're dealing with

Two people, one workshop, twenty five years of it.

MK Auto Repairs started in Saughton Mains in 2001 and moved to Inglis Green Road in 2011. It is still Murray and Angela running it, which means the person who quotes your car is the person who repairs it.

Work comes from private customers, insurers and local companies with vans and fleets to keep on the road. No job is too small or too far gone. Every repair gets a full written estimate up front and every repair is guaranteed.

Pop in whenever you are passing. You do not need an appointment for a quote and there is no charge for one.
