From car park scuffs to post-accident bodywork, RHR Automotive provides professional body shop repairs that restore your vehicle to its original condition. We serve drivers across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the wider Dorset area from our local workshop.
Bodywork damage ranges from cosmetic inconveniences to structural safety concerns. Whether you have picked up a door ding in a car park or been involved in a more significant collision, our body shop team has the skills and equipment to assess the damage properly and carry out high-quality repairs.
We handle paint matching carefully to ensure repaired panels blend seamlessly with the rest of your vehicle's finish. This is an area where shortcuts are immediately visible — which is why we take the time to match paint codes and apply primer, colour and lacquer correctly, using proper drying and curing processes.
Minor bodywork like small dents and scratches might seem like cosmetic-only issues, but untreated paint damage allows moisture to reach bare metal, accelerating rust formation. Addressing small repairs promptly protects your vehicle's long-term value and prevents more costly corrosion repairs down the line.
Unrepaired bodywork damage does not just affect your vehicle's appearance — it can compromise structural rigidity in the event of a future impact, allow rust to develop in hidden areas, and reduce your vehicle's resale value significantly. Professional repair restores both safety and value.
Based in Poole, serving Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area. You deal directly with the mechanics working on your vehicle — no call centres, no middlemen.
We invest in professional-grade diagnostic tools to identify faults accurately, saving you time and unnecessary repair costs.
We'll explain exactly what needs doing and why before any work begins. No surprise invoices.
From city cars to light commercials, our workshop handles a wide range of vehicles from leading manufacturers.
High-speed driving exposes bonnets and bumpers to stone chips. Left untreated, chips can quickly develop into rust spots.
Low-speed car park impacts are extremely common. Paintless dent repair is suitable for many cases where the paint has not cracked.
Rear-end shunts are the most frequent collision type. Bumper cover replacement and panel straightening restore original appearance.
Deep scratches along doors or sills require careful paint blending to avoid visible panel boundaries in the finish.
Surface rust must be treated aggressively — cutting back to clean metal, treating the substrate, and applying correct priming before paint.
Door mirror housings, wheel arch trim and sills are regularly damaged. We source and fit OEM or quality aftermarket replacements.
Based in Poole, we regularly work with customers from across the region.
