Manufacturer Standards

Gillibrand’s vehicle repair business was first established in 1859, building a long-standing reputation in the motor industry based on quality rather than quantity. When you choose Gillibrand, you can trust that we will restore your vehicle to its pre-accident condition and that you are placing it in one of the UK’s leading car body repair centres, working to manufacturer standards.

Gillibrand Accident Repair Centre is an Approved Repairer for a range of leading vehicle manufacturers, including Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT, Škoda, BMW, MINI, Tesla, Volvo, Polestar, Toyota, Ford, and Kia.

When you choose an Approved Repairer, you can be confident that we repair your vehicle to manufacturer standards using approved repair methods. Our manufacturer-trained technicians carry out all work, we use manufacturer-approved paint systems, and we always fit 100% genuine parts. In addition, we use manufacturer diagnostic equipment to relearn and recalibrate ADAS systems, recode steering racks, and reprogramme matrix headlamps.

To maintain our Approved status, independent assessors regularly audit our work. These audits ensure we consistently meet strict requirements for safety, quality, and environmental performance. Our paint and body technicians also receive direct manufacturer training at specialist training centres. By completing ongoing manufacturer courses, we stay fully up to date with the latest vehicle technologies and repair techniques.

We also hold the British Standards Kitemark, a respected industry accreditation that recognises high standards in repair quality and safety.

At Gillibrand, we continually invest in training, equipment, and processes to keep pace with evolving vehicle technology and to deliver repairs you can trust.
