Comprehensive Van Body Repair Services
At Hardings ARC, we offer a complete range of van body repair services to deal with all types of vehicle damage. Commercial vehicles often experience wear and tear from daily use, making dents, scratches, scuffs, and damaged panels a common issue. Our technicians regularly carry out single panel repairs, larger bodywork repairs, bumper repairs, and accident damage restoration for vans of all sizes. Where required, we can also undertake panel replacement and specialist welded panel replacement using manufacturer-approved repair methods and technical data. We repair and replace a wide range of body components, including spoilers, mouldings, trims, bumpers, and damaged exterior panels. Every repair begins with a thorough assessment to ensure we identify both visible and hidden damage before work starts. By combining skilled workmanship with quality materials and modern repair processes, we achieve repairs that restore your vehicle to a high standard while helping to preserve its value and appearance for the future.

Paintwork Restoration and Professional Finishes
The appearance of your van can have a significant impact on how customers perceive your business. Damaged paintwork, dents, and scratches can leave the wrong impression, which is why Hardings ARC provides professional paintwork restoration services as part of our van body repair solutions. We offer expert colour matching, paint refinishing, and full resprays to restore vehicles following cosmetic or accident-related damage. Our advanced colour matching technology allows us to accurately replicate the original manufacturer finish, creating seamless repairs that blend perfectly with the surrounding panels. Whether your van requires a single panel repaint or a complete respray following extensive repairs, our experienced technicians work to achieve a high-quality finish throughout. We take pride in delivering attention to detail at every stage of the process, ensuring the repaired areas are virtually indistinguishable from the original paintwork. The result is a professional finish that helps your van maintain a smart and professional appearance on the road.
Advanced Repairs for Modern Vans
Modern vans are increasingly equipped with advanced safety systems and driver assistance technology that require specialist expertise following accident repairs. At Hardings ARC, we invest in the latest repair equipment and ongoing technician training to ensure we can repair modern vehicles safely and correctly. Alongside bodywork repairs, we can carry out ADAS and radar calibrations, blind spot monitoring calibrations, camera calibrations, and four-wheel alignment services where required. These systems play an important role in vehicle safety and must be accurately calibrated after certain repairs are completed. We also follow manufacturer repair methods and approved technical data to ensure repairs are carried out to recognised industry standards. This approach helps maintain the safety, performance, and reliability of your vehicle while ensuring repairs meet manufacturer requirements. Whether you operate a single van or a fleet of commercial vehicles, you can trust our team to provide repairs that reflect the latest industry standards and best practices.
