I’m Phil — an ATA qualified mobile car body repair specialist based in Gravesend, Kent, with over 30 years of experience and 9,000+ repairs completed across Kent, Surrey, Sussex and South East London.

Paint & Bodywork was built on a simple idea: professional car body repairs shouldn’t require a garage, a week without your car or an eye-watering bill. With over 30 years of experience in body shop and smart repair environments, I bring the same quality equipment and techniques used by main dealers and approved repairers, directly to your home or workplace across Kent, Surrey, Sussex and South East London.
I started out working in traditional body shops before going mobile, and I haven’t looked back. There’s something genuinely satisfying about arriving at someone’s driveway, fixing a dent or scratch that’s been bothering them for months, and driving away knowing the job’s done properly. No shortcuts, no rushing, no sending a junior technician.
What makes me an expert
I’m an ATA qualified technician, formally accredited by the Automotive Technician Accreditation scheme, the industry standard for professional car repair in the UK. Combined with over 27 years of hands-on experience and more than 9,000 repairs completed, you’re not booking a tradesman who does bodywork on the side. You’re booking a specialist.
