I lost money in my first year running a car bodyshop… this is what I’d do differently 👇

When people look at a busy bodyshop, they think it’s all profit…
Reality is year one is where most people get it wrong

Here are the mistakes that cost me and what you can learn from them:

1. Underpricing jobs to win work
At the start, I just wanted cars in the workshop… so I priced too cheap.
→ What happens? You stay busy but don’t actually make money.
Lesson: Price for profit, not just volume.

2. Taking on every job (even the wrong ones)
Not every job is a good job - some drain time, energy and resources.
Lesson: Be selective. The right jobs build the right business.

3. Not understanding true costs
Materials, time, labour, overheads… it all adds up fast.
Lesson: Know your numbers inside out or you’ll always feel behind.

4. Relying too heavily on insurance work
It feels consistent but margins can be tight and control is limited.
Lesson: Build a mix — private, retail and insurance claim work.

5. Trying to do everything myself
At the start, I was involved in everything. It slows growth.
Lesson: Build a solid team and trust them.

6. No real marketing strategy
We relied on word of mouth… which isn’t enough if you want to scale.
Lesson: Social media, content & brand presence is worth investing

Fast forward to now — we’ve built a system that works, a strong team and a reputation we’re proud of.

If you’re in the motor trade, running a business, or even thinking about it… learn from this 🤝

Accident advice series: part one

🚗 MYTH: You have to go through your insurance after an accident.

Not necessarily.

Many drivers assume their only option after an accident is to contact their insurer and let them decide what happens next. In reality, there may be alternative routes available.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that you must use your insurer’s approved repairer. In many cases, you have the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired and explore options that may be better suited to your needs.

The most important thing is understanding your options before making a decision.

Knowledge is power when it comes to accident claims, car repairs, courtesy cars and getting your vehicle back to its pre-accident condition.

Have you ever been told you HAD to go through your insurance? 👇

Things people say after a car accident that can backfire… 👀🚗

In the moment, it’s natural to panic, apologise or react emotionally — but certain phrases can actually work against you later on. Here’s what to avoid saying after a road traffic accident ⬇️

❌ “It’s probably my fault”
Even if you think you caused the accident, never admit liability at the scene. There may be factors you’re unaware of, and insurers will investigate properly afterwards. Admitting fault too early could affect your claim outcome.

❌ “I’m fine”
Adrenaline is a real thing after an accident. Injuries like whiplash, back pain and soft tissue damage don’t always show immediately and can appear hours or even days later. It’s always best to say you’ll monitor how you feel and seek medical advice if needed.

❌ “No it’s fine, don’t worry about it”
A lot of people say this to avoid awkwardness or conflict, especially after minor bumps — but hidden damage can be far more serious than it first appears. Modern vehicles can have internal damage, sensor issues or structural problems that aren’t visible straight away.

❌ Being aggressive, shouting or angry
We completely understand emotions run high after an accident, but staying calm is important. Aggressive behaviour can escalate the situation, make communication harder and potentially affect witness statements or evidence gathered at the scene.

✔️ What SHOULD you do instead?
• Stay calm
• Exchange details
• Take photos/videos
• Gather witness information if possible
• Contact a trusted repair specialist

When they said “it just needs a little upgrade”… this is what they meant 😮‍🔥👇

This Ford Transit has had a FULL transformation at Spraytech Auto Repairs — not just a refresh, but a complete bodywork enhancement built for both style and presence on the road 🚐✨

We’ve taken a standard van and turned it into something that actually stands out 👇

— Rear spoiler added for a sportier finish
— Rear bumper upgrade for a more aggressive, premium look
— Side skirts installed to enhance the overall profile
— 20” alloy wheels to completely elevate the stance
— Front bumper modification & upgraded grilles for a bold front end
— Full body styling to tie everything together seamlessly

This is the difference between a van that blends in… and one that turns heads at every set of lights 👀

At Spraytech, we specialise in vehicle body modifications, custom styling, accident repairs, paintwork and full transformations. Whether it’s a work vehicle or your pride and joy, we bring your vision to life with precision and attention to detail 🔧

“when the customer says it’s just a scratch…” 😅

…and we already KNOW what’s coming next 🤦‍♂️

At Spraytech Auto Repairs, we hear this daily…
But 9 times out of 10, what looks like a “quick polish job” turns into something a little more serious 👀

Because here’s the truth 👇
That “scratch” usually means:
🚫 Deep paint damage through multiple layers
🚫 Panel dents you didn’t notice at first
🚫 Scuffs that have transferred paint from another vehicle
🚫 Sometimes even hidden structural damage underneath

And by the time we fully assess it…
Keiran & Trinity are like: “yeah… it’s not just a scratch” 😭

But don’t stress — that’s literally what we’re here for.
We’ll always:
✔️ Give you an honest assessment
✔️ Talk you through your options (repair vs replace)
✔️ Help keep costs as low as possible
✔️ Get your car looking like it never even happened

So next time you say “it’s just a scratch”…
just know we’re already preparing ourselves mentally 😂
