Chippenham is about 15 miles northeast of Bath and 20 miles southwest of Swindon. It is served by the A350, which follows the town's western border, the A420 and the A4, which is one of the roads where drivers face the fewest delays, according to data from the Department for Transport. Chippenham bus station is close to the town centre on Timber Street (Faresaver operates most services), and the railway station is on Cocklebury Road.
Car panel beating is a traditional method of repairing panels using tools such as specialised hammers, dollies (metal forming tools), tin snips and body files. It involves removing, restoring and replacing damaged panels, spray painting, colour matching, chassis alignment and refitting hardware.
The main benefit of hiring a panel beater is that they are highly skilled and experienced and will do an excellent job restoring the area to its non-damaged state. Panel beating is usually cheaper than replacing the damaged panel with a new one, and good panel beaters can also add new features to panels upon request.
You shouldn't attempt to fix car panel damage because it's unlikely you'll have the skills to do a safe job, especially since a bad repair could lead to more problems and stress fractures. Instead, it's best to find expert local panel beaters, giving you peace of mind that the repair is safe.
