Crowborough Accident Repair Services — CARS — was established in 2002 at our Queens Road garage in Crowborough, East Sussex. After relocating to Heathfield in 2007, what started as a small bodyshop has grown into one of the region's most trusted accident repair centres, serving private customers, insurance companies, and fleet operators across East Sussex and the wider South East.
We're BS10125 accredited — the industry standard for vehicle body repair — which means every repair we carry out meets a rigorous, independently audited quality benchmark. It's not just a badge; it's a commitment to doing the job properly every time.
In 2025, CARS became an approved Enterprise Rent-A-Car repair partner, one of only a handful of bodyshops in the South East to hold this status. It reflects the level of trust and quality consistency that fleet operators require.
We remain a local, independent business. That means you deal with the people who actually do the work — no call centres, no faceless bureaucracy, just straightforward service and honest pricing.
