I was nearby and realised my exhaust was hanging off, rang up the shop and the guy (sorry didn’t catch his name, tattoo of amie on his fingers) lovely guy had a look and took the exhaust off and wrapped it in paper for me to take 150 miles back home. No charge bless him, I handed him a tenner I had in my wallet. Thanks so much

Lovely bunch of lads, they came by recommendation. Very knowledgeable, friendly and went the extra mile to get it right. With pen and paper in hand, they assessed the problem and came up with a practical solution, to my front bumper damage and saved me a huge bill. Great Service!

A fantastic company I had a minor front end damage, I got 2 quotes and thorn coachworks were not only the cheapest but the standard of work was 100% or even more.
They picked it up for me at 9am and returned it back the next day at lunchtime looking absolutely superb.
Thanks guys for a very friendly, great service and superb end finish. 10/10

Great care and attention to detail, highly recommended Mark and David took on my classic Volvo at short notice and performed a near total respray within a few weeks, I was kept informed throughout, provided with a courtesy car when needed and the end result is fantastic. I’d not hesitate to recommend Thorn coachworks to anyone, the quality of the work is really very good and they’ll bend over backwards to accommodate you. 5 stars all round

Absolutely fantastic After my car got hit whilst parked, the damage left behind was a large dent and large and deep scratches. This place was recommended by a neighbour and so I checked it out and then made arrangements to have it fixed. Picked it up after 2 days to find the scratches and dent non-existent. Also the price was cheap especially as it included VAT too. Definitely recommend this company, their work is phenomenal.

Bloody brilliant If you’re looking for a top paint job at very competitive prices, thorn coach works is for you.They completely resprayed my black Hilux after and awful paint job was done. The guys did a fantastic job can’t believe how good it looks, they also treated the underside to stop rusting and repaired any dents or damage they saw, looks brand new. Real nice friendly guys, genuine blokes. I highly recommend to anyone and I will be using them for any vehicle paint work I require in the future.Thanks again Thorn 👍

Delighted. .thank you. Delighted with the work carried out. A genuine business run by genuine folk. This project was important to me for personal reasons… They were also very understanding when I couldn’t collect the car on time due to unexpected illness. Thank you David and Mark and I wish you well for the future. Good to find genuine hardworking folk who deliver an excellent result. Regards Paul.

A great new coach works firm. Top quality work We were recommended to Thorn Coachworks and having mainly dealt with larger firms, I was initially concerned at their ability to do concourse standard work. I’ve just collected my Pininfarina Spyder and am delighted with the quality of the work, which is of show standard. It’s a small business recently started with both Mark and David enthusiastic about what they do, which shows in the end product. I’ll be having all my future car and bike paint/bodywork done there in the future!
