Depends on the repair. We will tell you once we have seen it
Welded in house
We weld in house at 177 North Station Road. Sills, floor pans, subframes, suspension mounts, exhausts and the corrosion repairs that turn up on an MOT failure sheet.
This is the job a lot of garages send out, which is why it takes them a week. You can book it in, drive in, or ring first and describe what you have got, and we will tell you whether it is something we can weld or something that needs replacing.
What we weld
Sills and floor pans. Subframes and suspension mounting points. Exhaust sections and brackets. The structural corrosion within 30 centimetres of a seatbelt or suspension mounting that fails a car on its MOT.
There is a point where a panel has gone too far to weld, and when we get there we will say so rather than patch it and hand it back.

Questions we get asked
Can you weld a car that has failed its MOT on corrosion?
That is a large part of what we do. Bring the failure sheet, which will say where the corrosion is, and we will tell you what putting it right costs. Then take it back for the retest.
How much does welding cost?
It depends completely on what has to be cut out and let in, so a price on a web page would be a guess. Send a photo or bring it in and we will give you a real number before anything is started.
Do I need to book?
Not necessarily. You can book it in, drive in, or ring first. Ringing first means we can tell you whether the ramp is free.
Do you do MOTs?
No. We are not an MOT test station, so we cannot do the test itself. What we do is everything a car fails on, and everything that comes up as an advisory: brakes, tyres, suspension, exhausts, corrosion and welding. Bring us the failure sheet and we will tell you what it costs to put right.
