THE 96K Auto Care · Precision in every detail

Body Shop & Wraps

Repaired to match. Rewrapped entirely.

Panel work blended into the paint beside it rather than stopped at the seam — and full colour-change wraps when you would rather change the car than keep it.

What’s included

Put right first. Finished after.

Two halves of the same job. Whether a panel is being repaired or covered, what goes underneath decides how the finish reads — so that is where the work starts.

Body Shop

04 Stages

  1. Damage Assessment

    Panels read under light, with what can be repaired separated from what genuinely needs replacing.

  2. Panel Repair

    Dents worked out and panels brought back to their proper line, rather than filled level and painted over.

  3. Colour Matching

    Matched to the panel in front of us rather than to a code, because paint ages on the car it is sitting on.

  4. Refinishing

    Blended into the panels beside it and flatted back, so the repair does not announce itself in daylight.

Wraps

04 Stages

  1. Finish Selection

    Gloss, satin or matte seen against your own paint before anything is ordered or cut.

  2. Surface Preparation

    Panels decontaminated and prepared first. Film follows the surface underneath it, including its faults.

  3. Panel Wrapping

    Cut to the panel and worked over its curves, with edges wrapped and tucked wherever it allows.

  4. Post-Heat & Check

    Every edge post-heated so the film holds its shape, then re-inspected panel by panel before it leaves.

Why it matters

Why Body Work And Wraps Matter

Damage left alone gets worse, and a colour change is the one thing you can undo. Both come down to how honestly the surface underneath is dealt with.

  1. Repairs That Disappear

    Blended into the panels either side rather than stopped at the seam, where a repair always shows first.

  2. Stops Damage Spreading

    Exposed metal corrodes. Sealing it properly is what keeps a dent from turning into a panel.

  3. Protects Original Paint

    A wrap sits over the factory finish and comes off again, leaving the paint underneath as it was.

  4. A Change You Can Undo

    The colour is yours for as long as you want it, and the car underneath is unchanged when you do not.

  5. Holds Its Value

    Straight panels and honest paint are the first things an inspection and a buyer both go looking for.

A repair should disappear.

Because the work you can still see afterwards is the work that was not finished.

What to expect

From bare panel to finished.

Repair and wrap work run the same way here: the surface underneath is settled before anything goes over it. This is how the sequence runs at THE 96K.

Precision in every detail.

  1. Arrival

    We walk the car with you and go through what is being repaired, what is being covered, and what we would honestly leave alone.

  2. Assessment

    Panels are read under proper light, so the plan is set to the damage in front of us rather than to an estimate written off a photograph.

  3. Preparation

    Straightening, repair and surface prep. Nothing is painted or covered until the panel beneath it is actually ready to take it.

  4. Finish

    Paint blended into the panels either side, or film cut to the panel and worked over its curves and edges.

  5. Handover

    We walk the finished panels with you in daylight, and are straight about anything that could not be matched perfectly.

Book your body work

Put it back right. Or change it.

Bring the car in and we will read the panels with you — repaired to match what is already there, or wrapped in the finish you actually wanted.

Common questions

Straight answers, before you book.

Can you match my car’s paint exactly?

We match to the panel rather than to the paint code, because paint ages on the car it is sitting on and blends into the panels either side. Where a colour is genuinely difficult, we will say so before starting rather than after.

Will a wrap damage the paint underneath?

Not on sound factory paint — it is designed to come off again. Where paint has already been resprayed or is lifting, we check it first and tell you honestly what the risk is.

Can you wrap only some panels?

Yes, and it is often the better idea. A roof, a bonnet or the mirrors on their own change the car considerably without committing it to a full colour change.

Does damage have to be repaired before wrapping?

Anything that would read through it does. Film follows the surface underneath rather than hiding it, so a dent left under a wrap is still a dent.

How long does a wrap last?

That depends on the finish, how the car is stored and how it is washed. We will tell you what to expect from the film you have chosen rather than quoting a number that suits the sale.

Can it be washed normally afterwards?

Yes, with straight technique. We go through it at handover, because how a wrapped or freshly refinished car is washed in its first weeks is what decides how it holds up.
