Bristol
The busiest part of the patch and the most awkward to park in. Half of it is permit bays and the other half is on a hill, so jobs here get planned before we set off rather than on your doorstep.

Everything is measured from Whitby Road in Brislington. Most of Bristol is twenty minutes, Bath is forty, and the coast is an hour on a good morning. Where you are changes the slot, not the standard of the work.
Just outside the list?
Send the postcode anyway. Plenty of jobs we take are a few miles past the last town on this page, and we would rather tell you yes or no than have you guess.

Eight towns,
and what changes
Bath
Forty minutes down the A4. Narrow Georgian streets, heavy permit coverage and a lot of listed frontage, so we tend to book Bath jobs early before the city fills up.
BathFilton & Patchway
Business parks and wide car parks, which makes it some of the easiest mobile work we do. Good for fleets.
Filton and PatchwayKeynsham
Between us and Bath, so it often slots into a run that is already going that way. Mostly driveways and off-street parking.
KeynshamPortishead & Clevedon
Coastal, which matters more than it sounds. Salt air is hard on mouldings and we check the aperture carefully on older cars here.
Portishead and ClevedonYate & Chipping Sodbury
Straight up the ring road. A lot of commuter mileage out this way, which means a lot of motorway stone damage and a lot of chip repairs.
Yate and Chipping SodburyThornbury
The far north of the patch. Usually a morning slot so the van is not crossing Bristol twice in a day.
ThornburyWeston-super-Mare
An hour down the M5 and the longest run we do as standard. Booked in blocks, so ask about the next Weston day when you ring.
Weston-super-MareWhat decides the slot
Distance is the least
of it, most days.
People assume the far end of the patch waits longest. In practice the things that move a booking have almost nothing to do with mileage.
- Weather, every time. Wet or cold enough and a replacement moves wherever you live.
- Whether the camera needs a static calibration, which brings the car to the unit.
- Whether the glass is stocked locally or coming in overnight on a special order.
- Parking. A permit bay in the centre takes longer to arrange than a run to Weston.
- What is already on the run that day, since two jobs in one town beat two crossings.
Fleets and depots
If you have several vehicles in one yard we will come to the yard and work through them, which is cheaper for you and a better day for us.
Ask about account terms.
Outside the eight?
Gloucester, Chippenham, Bridgwater and the villages between them are all doable. Send the postcode and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you charge extra for travel?
Not to anywhere on this page. The quoted price is the price whether you are ten minutes from the unit or an hour down the M5. Outside the patch we may add something, and we will say so before you book rather than on the invoice.
I am a few miles outside. Is that a no?
Usually not. The eight towns are where we go every week, not a fence. Gloucester, Chippenham and Bridgwater all come up regularly. Send the postcode and you will get a straight yes or no the same day.
Which areas get same-day chip repairs?
All of them in principle, because a repair is forty minutes and slots into gaps in the run. In practice the closer you are to Brislington the better the odds, and ringing before eleven matters more than where you live.
Can I bring the car to you instead?
Yes, and for anything needing a static calibration you will have to. The unit is on Whitby Road in Brislington, five minutes off the A4, and there is room to leave the car with us if you would rather not wait.
On a map
Roughly an hour’s drive in every direction from Brislington, weighted north and east because that is where the ring road takes us.
