Hyundai recommended Sapphire garage to me. During my first telephone contact they were very helpful and arranged with me to assess my car and formulate a plan which Carlo did the next day. Carlo was extremely helpful and assisted us through the process of getting approval from the at fault party's insurance. He kept me up to date at all times by phone and email. The repair was completed efficiently and effectively and again communication was excellent. I was kept informed throughout the whole process. All of the staff were professional and friendly at all times. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Had a technical fault with my car and Carlo and the team at Sapphire Garage sorted it out quickly and efficiently. They kept me informed every step of the way, explaining what they were doing and why, which I really appreciated. The level of service was fantastic – the issue was fixed promptly, the price was very reasonable, and they even valeted my car and topped up the windscreen washer fluid! It’s clear they go the extra mile for their customers. I’d definitely recommend them and won’t be going anywhere else for any car needs in the future. Thanks again!

I have had 3 vehicles repaired by Sapphire over a few years and cannot recommend them highly enough. From the friendliness of the staff to the professional and honest way they deal with you - it’s a revelation in an industry traditionally with a good portion of “dodgy” work and overcharging. Two of my jobs were “unusual” but nothing phased the team at Sapphire and unlike other companies, you can even speak with the owner if needs be. Super guy. Leads from the front and sets the standards his staff work to.

Excellent service. My wife’s Abarth had a problem with its side skirt beginning to detach. Carlos and Tasha got it in and fixed the same day. Side skirt now looks as good as new. Everyone happy. Thumbs up.

Fleet & Commercial Repair FAQs

Can you handle heavy-duty vans?

Yes. Our facility is uniquely equipped with a 5.5-ton lifting and repair capacity, allowing us to work on large-scale commercial vehicles, including heavy LCVs. While we can lift loaded vehicles, repairs are typically conducted on unloaded vans for safety and precision.

What are Off-Claim repairs?

Many SME clients choose to settle repairs off-claim to avoid rising insurance premiums. We provide transparent, competitive pricing for these private repairs.

How do you handle non-fault accidents?

We act as your advocate. We manage the entire process, recover costs from the at-fault insurer, and provide a like-for-like replacement vehicle so you don’t lose a day of work.
