Running a van, truck or commercial vehicle? Maybe you like to travel in your motorhome?

At Solent Bodybuilders & Repairs Ltd we have our own onsite weighbridge for vehicles from 3.5t to 38t, allowing drivers and fleet operators to quickly check their vehicle weights before heading out on the road.

✅ Vehicles from 3.5t up to 38t
✅ Quick and easy weight checks
✅ Weighbridge tickets available
✅ Pre-paid packages for regular fleet users
✅ No need to book weeks in advance

Overweight vehicles can mean fines, unnecessary wear, and more importantly, a risk to yours and other drivers’ safety .

For a few minutes on the weighbridge, you can know exactly where you stand.

Fast. Simple. Local.

Forget Throwback Thursday – today is Windback Wednesday! 🚛✨

We’ve been feeling a little nostalgic recently and decided to take a trip back through the archives.
There’s something special about looking back at where it all began, and this week we’ve uncovered a real piece of history.

We’re excited to share an image of the very first vehicle repaired on our JOSAM straightening frame system – all the way back in 2002!

That’s over two decades of repairs, experience, expertise and plenty of vehicles restored to their former glory. It’s incredible to think how much has changed since this photo was taken, while the same commitment to precision and quality has remained at the heart of what we do.

So, take a look back with us and let us know what you think. Do you remember when this was the latest technology in the workshop? 👀

Here’s to looking back at where we started – and looking forward to what’s still to come! 🔧🚛

Throwback Thursday and a little piece of our history…

This picture of our old shunter truck takes us all the way back to 1991 — the year our company relocated from Hedge End to our Segensworth site to begin an exciting new chapter.

Painted in 1991 to mark the move, it’s more than just an old truck. It’s a reminder of where SBB started, the people who built the business, and the many miles we’ve travelled since. 🧡💚🤍
