Had rust removed from a few panels and boot and bonnet resprayed to match the original BMW individual colour, and they did a fantastic job! They also included additional work for free including rust removal, dent removal and respraying of a number of other panels that were identified during the work as also requiring attention. Friendly service and also provided photos of the work in progress.

Delighted by the work carried out on our run around Fiesta that had picked up a couple of minor knocks. Now looks as good as new. Friendly, flexible and professional service from Stuart and Martin. And whilst I hope not to need their services again they will be my first choice if I do.

Having previously enjoyed – (if that’s the ‘mot juste’ for having to take your battered motorcar to a ‘body shop’ )- the services of Car Magic three or four years ago when my blue Subaru came back looking as good as new, new knocks to my newish Subaru needed attention.
The service is still first rate and it’s friendly, to boot. In fact this ‘Car Magic’ is a remarkable business tucked away as it is in the middle of nowhere yet catering for every vehicle body repair need from the exotic (my Subaru ?) to the mundane (a near neighbour’s almost insignificant small Peugeot) to a number of vintage vehicles from far and wide requiring very special expertise.
The high standards are achieved and maintained by a fine team of expert panel-beaters and spray painters managed by the two hands-on owners, Martin, the idiosyncratic originator ( he might be idiosyncratic but my goodness he really knows his stuff) and Stuart the down-to-earth attention-to-detail expert who really knows his stuff too.
And there is no pressure; they really do care and will not foist work upon you if you are uneasy about it. Whatever they do they do WELL, very well, and with good humour.

I’ve used Car Magic on more than one occasion. This time round, Stuart was kind enough to touch up some light scratches on the bodywork but as he had the right paint in the workshop already, he did this without charging. What a lovely gesture and again, what a pleasure it has been dealing with Car Magic. Always professional, helpful and welcoming.

I’ve now had three separate cars (BMW 3 series, Toyota Yaris and a Mini Cooper) repaired by the Car Magic team. In each case the cars had damage to bumpers or door panels. The service and pricing from Car Magic has been first class on each occasion. The quality of work very good and without fault. They are very straight forward and genuine people to deal with. I will use again and I’m very happy to recommend.

Polite and helpful service very please with the finish to the bodywork on the repair to my Audi. Would recommend.

Apologies for this being so late but wanted to thank you so much for organising all the work on my car. I’m really delighted with it, it’s like having a new motor and I’m very grateful for all your help and advice in saving my car. I’m so enjoying having it home and the freedom it gives me. Thank you for everything Martin.

Good efficient polite service. Remember quotes need VAT adding and use GPS to find the address. They are well worth the recommendation I was given to use them.

My Mini Cooper bumper looks better than new! Great work and professional friendly service.

Picked up a scrape in a hospital car park just before Christmas. Car Magic had it fixed within two days and it is like new. Excellent service!

Can’t rate their expertise any higher. Gave them a tricky job and they returned the car with 0 problems. Even cleaned it.

These guys are the business!!!!. Fantastic work, extremely friendly and caring.

Excellent service from very nice people.My car was repaired on time & looks like new.Superb!

Great service. I needed some repair work done recently. I was provided with an email quote. The actual repair ended up being slightly less than the quoted cost and the work was done quicker than they had stated. All in all Martin and Stuart provided an excellent service. Thank you.

I can’t thank the guys at Car Magic enough they kindly contacted me to take my car to be reviewed for a scratch that had happened whilst I was parked in a car park, It had gone all the way down my passenger side of my car. After sharing them photos of the scratch they said to pop up and see them, which I did and within 10 mins they had managed to get the scratches out completely. A truly remarkable service, both Martin and Stuart were so personable and friendly couldn’t have asked for a better service. Martin also thank you for showing me around the work shop, some of the restoration work and history behind the cars was so fascinating. What you guys are doing and the professionalism behind it is just amazing, I would recommend your service to everyone, thanks again Kieron

Excellent service and very professional work. They said it would be two weeks for the body repair and it was. Can’t thank you enough and highly recommend you to all.

I can’t thank the guys at CarMagic enough for the speedy repair to my car. I didn’t want it off the road for long as it would of affected my work and they did it in 48 hours !!! Beautiful job. I have used them 3 times now and every time they have kept me informed and up to date with the progress and the car comes back perfect. Martin and Stuart you are fabulous 😊 thank you for looking after me and my car 🚙 Debbie

I popped in to see these guys a couple of weeks ago off the back of a recommendation. They were friendly, very helpful and fixed the damage there and then. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Fantastic service. Stuart was really friendly and helpful . really good spray job too. definitely recommend 😁👌

I would highly recommend Stuart and Martin at Car Magic. I had my concerns due to type of colour of my car but I shouldn’t of been. These guys are great and have done a fantastic job of my car, I’m so pleased.

Great service from Martin and the guys and the work completed was excellent quality. Would highly recommend.

Would highly recommend them Stuart and Martin have both been professional, friendly, extremely helpful and honest. The colour match on my car is perfect! Thank you.

These guys are great. Really honest, professional service. They repaired my car it looks great.

Great service, honest and trustworthy. This is the second time I’ve used Martin and the guys and cannot recommend highly enough.

Great service thanks guys

I have used these guys twice in 2 years and I cannot recommend them enough! They are so friendly, helpful and nothing is too much effort. They were able to lend me a car until mine was fixed and the work was completed within 2 days. The standard of their work is fantastic and I would not hesitate to call them in the future to fix any bumps or mishaps. Thank you for your help and for being so brilliant. Kerry x

Following a car park scrape, we were advised to use Car Magic for the repair. Our Mini required a respray to the bonnet and front wing plus a new wheel arch moulding. Martin and his team were excellent. Really friendly and accommodating and even gave the car a full valet before handing it back. Amazing service. Would use them again. Highly recommended.

I had stupidly jetwashed my Porsche 911 997 Carrera S and managed to remove the lacquer on the front bumper. The main dealer wanted a kings ransom to repair it so I went to Car Magic who fixed my car for a fraction of what Porsche wanted. Not only that but the service was excellent – very friendly and efficient. 5 star treatment all the way. Highly recommended.

I had a big long scratch on my car and the two guys, Martin and Stuart, were extremely friendly and helpful. They could have charged me the earth but were honest and said it wasn’t necessary and managed to fix the scratch without any hassle. I couldn’t recommend enough! Brilliant and local.

Really efficient, excellent repair of the front wing.Great customer service and very competitive price, highly recommend.

Well pleased with fast, efficient and friendly service for a new wing & bumper. I would recommend. Jim, Wigginton.

These guys are great. Really honest, professional service. They repaired our car quickly and it looks great. Would recommend them to anyone!

A friendly, efficient service and a wonderful job repairing my door. I would highly recommend Martin and the team.

Outstanding customer service. Stuart was able to cover up a scratch on my Mercedes FOC. A really friendly and helpful company that I would recommend to anyone. Many thanks.

What a tremendously helpful, knowledgeable and friendly bunch at Car Magic. As requested on their website I sent an email and photo image of the problem and within minutes Stuart called and offered to resolve the damage as soon as I could get my Range Rover to them. They deliver the sort of great customer service you hope from all suppliers but seldom get it. Really fabulous team and would highly recommend them to all.

Car Magic has the most friendly and transparent team. They take pride in the work they do and are always at the end of the phone to help. Would recommend this garage to anyone looking for high quality body work from a trustworthy company.

Very helpful and friendly and a speedy top class repair, to my Mazda 5. It looks as good as new. Absolutely delighted. I would recommend Car Magic to anyone.

Highly recommended! Incredibly helpful and honest. I was told that scratches down the side of the car (not done by me but Stansted Meet and Greet – do not use!!) would polish out unlike another company that suggested having all the panels re-painted. Thank you Stuart.

A spot of rust. Set off to Car Magic for a quote; meet something nasty in Hog Lane; tyre ruined; no mobile coverage but help is at hand – Stuart. Wheel off, a lift to Berkhamsted and back for a new tyre, wheel back on and I’m away home. Magic indeed. I didn’t even get my hands dirty! Now to order the paint job.

Our car was hit three hours before we were due to leave for a holiday. Within half an hour the guys at Car Magic had given us a quote and arranged to pick the car up and get it sorted before we returned home. The car looks great, thank you! Fantastic service from a really friendly team – would highly recommend.

The front bumper on my 2003 530i was out of alignment and the lacquer was peeling, also had rust blisters around the wheel arch, sill and boot lock. The rubbers around my headlights had also perished. Stuart took time to examine the bodywork identifying areas where he could polish out various small scratches etc while he had the car in for repair. I collected the car this afternoon and what a brilliant job Stuart has done, the colour match and finish is superb and bearing in mind the car is 15 years old it actually looks like new. The way Stuart has blended the paintwork proves that he takes great pride in his work and is a master craftsman. He is also a very friendly approachable honest guy who gives you great service at a reasonable price. Upon collecting my car in my wife’s 1999 Lexus IS200 I asked him to quote on some minor rust and scratches. He went around the car and said due to the age it was in his opinion not worth spending what it would cost. He did say however that he had some of that actual colour paint and he could use it to tidy up the bodywork if we wanted. When I asked how much he said that as it was a fairly quick job he would do it free of charge! This proves what a fair, honest guy he is and someone who puts the customer first before anything else. This is a 5 star company with 5 star personnel who you can trust 100% to do a first class job for both minor and major repairs. Car Magic are a very professional outfit who put the customer first and are a credit to themselves.

I had two no fault accidents in the space of 6 weeks and went straight to Car Magic. I didn’t even consider going anywhere else. Martin and his team are absolutely fantastic and always treat you as a person not a statistic. My first accident wrote the car off, but the second accident was repairable. Throughout the whole process, Martin kept me totally up to date with everything. Once the go ahead was given to repair my car, his team got straight on it and did such a good job that my car looks better now than it did when I bought it. There really is no better place to go for repairs, no matter how small. I will be going back for my service and MoT when they are due.

Delighted to have got my Audi A2 back today from Car Magic and what a great job they’ve done! I’ve had my A2 from new but it was needing a good overhaul. Car Magic have been through it top to toe and now it not only looks great, but also the wiring, pumps and belts have all been reviewed and changed where necessary giving me a great looking and safe car again. Thanks so much – amazing!

Honest, kind and clearly great at what they do. Looked at my car and helped fix it on the spot, saving me lots and lots of money. Clearly cares about running an honest service- I will definitely be coming back to you in future. Thanks again!

Absolute gents and a great job. Thank you.

I managed to run my car along a very dense hedge, literally looked like it had been keyed- I was recommended to use Car Magic by our local garage. I phoned up and spoke to Martin who was so concerned and helpful. He suggested bringing the car in then and there- that was at 4pm when most people are thinking of finishing off for the day! As soon as I got there Stuart was really kind and said let’s see what we can do- 20 minutes later it was all done, almost as good as new. Such wonderful service and very lovely people. Thank you so much to Martin and Stuart- amazing!

Such fantastic results and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this company to anybody.

This is the second time I have used Car Magic. This time it was an insurance job. I choose them over a Honda accredited repairer because I preferred to be treated as a person rather than a statistic. Their service was quick, professional and impeccably finished. This is a fine example of a local business which cares for the individual. There was a free hire-car thrown in and a quality valeting service in time for collection.

Honest, kind and clearly great at what they do. Looked at my car and helped fix it on the spot, saving me lots and lots of money. Clearly cares about running an honest service- I will definitely be coming back to you in future. Thanks again!

My second dealing with this great company. Stuart very helpful. They go that bit further to ensure you are satisfied completely. There craftsmanship is excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend them and would certainly use them in the future. A great local company.

Once again Martin, Stuart and team provided an excellent service. Always going the extra mile, totally professional, and great value for money. Always my first stop for any body repair work. Highly recommended. Thanks CarMagic.

After being forced into the roadside bushes and branches by an oncoming vehicle I was left with a dent and substantial scratches to my nearside wing. Car Magic have done a great job repairing the damage at an affordable price. Very happy customer. Thank you.

Friendly helpful people with excellent finished results and service.

After a large shunt up the rear, Car Magic were the appointed repairer and duly took my car in. Throughout the repair, the team kept me informed of the progress being made. I was able to negotiate the repair of two nasty scratches for a very reasonable price. The result is a pristine looking car and one very happy customer. Thank you Car Magic.

Car Magic have just restored my old Mini to its original shiny, pristine condition making it look just like new again with as little stress as possible and simply wonderful service. What a great outfit they are, highly recommended.

The Team are demonstrably passionate about cars. My Wife was devastated when her ‘pride and joy’ was scraped down the side in a car park (no note left by perpetrator!). Car Magic repaired the bodywork and resprayed within 36 hours at a most reasonable cost. The rather scruffy car was returned looking better than when it had rolled off the assembly line, having been fully valeted inside and out. Cannot recommend Car Magic highly enough. Thanks Martin and your Team

As always the team at car magic are most trusted and genuine car specialist . They are always willing to help with a smile . Thank you chaps.

After my Driving Instruction vehicle was damaged when being driven by a student I found the company first class in the service they provided. They examined the damage the following day at my home address and picked up and delivered the vehicle as soon as it had been professionally repaired, making the whole accident process as smooth and painless as possible. I found both Martin and Stuart, friendly, very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile. Have since used them again on a specialist classic car with the same service and high quality results. Many thanks guys.

After finding my car dented I wanted to get it fixed ASAP. After looking online I found Car Magic. I was impressed from the very start, getting a quote online using their photo service. Easy communication and they very quickly booked my car in. They even came and picked my car up and dropped it off free of charge! I got the car back looking “good as new” and the quality of the work has made any damage disappear completely. I am very impressed indeed. You can tell this company takes pride in their work even returning the car cleaner than when it went in inside and out. Thank you all so much. I can 100% recommend this company I wouldn’t think twice at using then again.

UPDATE:
Three years after I wrote the above review I have a brand new car that had been scratched on the rear bumper few weeks ago on back right quarter. After my fantastic experience before with Car Magic, I contacted them and once again they maintain to be outstanding service end to end picking up and dropping off the car, the online quote system is amazing and I’m sure their prices have stayed the same even three years on. There is no one else I would ever use the car is as good as new once more. Thank you all so much!

I really cannot recommend these guys enough; I had quotes from 3 garages and was told that parts were on back order and would take anywhere between 1-3 weeks; 2 days later they phoned and said the parts had arrived and it was booked in. They said it would take 3 days, but they phoned early and said it was all ready to be collected.
Brilliant job, great price = one very happy customer!

Fantastic service and a job well done. The bodywork on my TT looks as good as new once more! All at a very reasonable price and considerably cheaper than the garage Audi pointed me at. Very highly recommended.

Car Magic have done a fantastic job repairing the damage to my Polo. The service they provide to their clients is excellent – they are a very good company to deal with.

I called in to get an estimate for a small body repair and Stuart actually fixed it on the spot and wouldn’t even let me pay him anything. Now that’s what I call MAGIC! Would highly recommend them not just because of the no charge but the service is always great here.

Just picked up my car today, it’s as good as new! Extremely happy with the work done, turnaround was quick too. Highly recommend coming here, this was the first time my car had been involved in an accident and I felt confident my car was in good hands and the pricing quoted was fair. To top it off it was fully valeted. Thank you!

Helpful, flexible and friendly people sorted out the little damage my car had incurred and tidied up the other scrapes and scratches – now I am no longer ashamed to be driving it!

I found the team at Car Magic very help full and professional. They gave me sound advice and I didn’t feel misguided. I highly recommend this company and will re-use them in the future.

I have just used Car Magic for the third time, and am just as wowed by their fantastic service as I was the first two times. They have repaired my daughter’s accident damage to an exceptionally high standard in just a few days, and returned the car to us looking pristine and as good as new. We have always received professional, friendly service, and both Martin and Stuart’s passion and pride in producing the highest quality work just shines through in everything they do.

To The Guys at Car Magic, Just wanted to say a huge Thank you for helping me out with the repairs to the Santa Fe last week. Really appreciate your help in getting it sorted out so quickly! Thanks so much.

Wow! These guys are magicians when it comes to cars! I have used Car Magic twice now and this company is absolutely amazing. They are very efficient, friendly and professional. They have done a 5 star job on my car and went over and above to do some extra work for me to get the car looking like new. Thanks so much. I would highly recommend. 😀👍🏻

Fantastic! Took the car in for a quote on Tuesday for a new front wing and it was ready by Thursday. Couldn’t fault the work and the car was even valeted. Highly recommended.

Martin and his team did a really great job on my Jaguar XK today. They are always well priced, produce high quality results and there’s no arguing that they know their motors. Top job, gents! Highly recommended.

I’m just about to sell my car and annoyingly bumped into something. Martin and Stuart were super helpful, really prompt in getting the work done and also exceptionally good value. More importantly, Martin made my daughter’s day by giving her a fridge magnet….top work and thanks 🙂

I had a minor scrape on my car and Martin and Stuart were extremely helpful getting it sorted out. While Stuart worked on the car I had a guided tour from Martin. Their passion for cars is immediately apparent and you can’t help but feel confident that you are in very capable hands when you go to Car Magic. Recommended!

I collected my Tiguan yesterday from Car Magic, following body repairs being completed. I was provided a courtesy car whilst they had mine. From start to finish I found the company professional and friendly, with excellent communication throughout. They were able to complete the work very quickly and to a high standard. My car was cleaned inside and out and looking beautiful and like new. I would highly recommend Car Magic to anyone and would definitely use them again. Thank you so much Martin.

Unbelievable Service!!! Martin and his Team were amazing and extremely helpful. Went out their way to accommodate us and car was good as new as per their promised schedule. Perfectionist to the MAX!! Can’t recommend them enough.

This is the first time of using Car Magic and I can honestly say my car came back in excellent condition and was even cleaned inside!! Would highly recommend Martin and Stuart they give first class customer service. Thank you so much for getting my car looking good again.

Fantastic service. I would recommend Car Magic to anyone. We use them for all our company and personnel vehicle repairs. Quality is first class and they’re quick and are very reasonable priced.

I had been recommended to Car Magic by a friend. I was not disappointed. My car, now in its twelfth year looks as good as new. Thank you Stuart for your prompt efficient service, for keeping to time and budget, and for dropping me home…..now, if only I can avoid those pesky bollards…..

This is the second time we have used Car Magic and they have fulfilled our hopes and expectations. Our Corolla was repaired at a time convenient to us, collected and returned as agreed, and now looks as good as new. It is impossible to tell which parts have been replaced, the colour matching is so good. And lovely to have it clean inside as well as outside. Our thanks to Martin and Stuart for doing a great job.

Friendly guys giving a top quality service, car looked like new when I picked it up.

Due to my less than perfect driving I have done business with Car Magic several times. On this occasion they repaired my new Merc GLC. Perfect repair. Always excellent work. Their prices are also reasonable.

Thank you Car Magic, I couldn’t have wished for a better service or a better job on my bumper scuff. Prompt and polite. My car was ready a day earlier than quoted. Martin and Stuart were a pleasure to deal with in an age where great service is hard to come by. Thank you again, I would highly recommend.

Top class service, can’t recommend them more, my wife went in with a repair required for her Land Rover, and the guys where superb. Nothing too much trouble, worked through their lunch hour. Honest and top class people.

Thank you Car Magic. It did take a while to get the car fixed but that was due to parts not available. However, a good job done and out of all the insurance claim companies involved, you were the only one who kept me informed. Would recommend. Thanks

I have just had my car repaired by Car Magic. Impeccable service and communication. You boys have done a brilliant job and I would recommend your services! Its great to have my car back – as good as new and clean for a change! Thank you!! 🙂

To Car Magic once again, to repair a scrape and dent to my wife’s car caused by an uncompromising lorry forcing her into a line of parked cars. I told the insurer I wanted to use them not only because their quote was lower than the VW garage but because their work is always excellent. Having received permission CM took over , liaised with LV, repaired the car efficiently and promptly, and valeted it so it looked immaculate for our collection. All by magic!

Really friendly, honest and professional service on our Range Rover Sport. Strongly recommend.

Brilliant Service. Very quick turn around and great work. Damaged the car on the Wednesday phoned them on Thursday and had the car back fully repaired on Tuesday. If you’re looking for a great job and great service would highly recommend them.

Martin and the team did a fantastic job on some cosmetic repairs on my BMW M5 after an altercation with the rear corner and a wall. Great service, always communicating and above all a very high standard job for a fair and reasonable price. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Great value, great quality, great service. If you have a car body issue go to these guys. They will sort it out. They are fair, knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. You can’t go wrong. Their current full 5 star rating on google is testiment itself.

I can’t commend Car Magic highly enough. Rapid, polite response from the first contact. Competitive quote and excellent attention to detail. The team could not have done any more to reassure me and to provide a professional service of the highest quality. The car looks great – as new, and was even valeted inside and out. I would need look no further for any future repairs. Many thanks.

What a gem of a firm we have in Chesham. Stuart Hall was courteous and helpful in quoting for a damaged sill on my car. The repair was carried out promptly to a very good standard , and delivered back to me well within the stated time.

I would not hesitate in recommending Car Magic for their friendliness.

Just had a wing replaced as if by Magic. Only took a week from quote to completion (we’d already attempted to get quotes from 2 other places). Looks fantastic and the car was cleaned as well! What a bonus. Will definitely recommend them to others.

I have just had my car repaired by Car Magic after being hit by another driver and what a fantastic job they have done. First class service and very friendly, I can’t recommend them enough. These guys were recommended to my by my dad who is a driving instructor and I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family. Thank you Car Magic 5* service.

So glad I came across Car Magic, took my car in to have some repairs and they did a more than excellent job. I would most definitely recommend these guys to anyone. Their passion for cars is so abundant to see as soon as you visit the work shop. Great service, great communication and a reasonable price. Thanks guys my car looks new again.

Just collected my car from Car Magic after having a dent in my bonnet repaired and resprayed. A big thank you to Stuart, Martin and their team for a fantastic job. This the second time I’ve used them and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them. Great job, thank you.

When one is so often disappointed by local suppliers these days, It’s a pleasure to be able to report that Car Magic’s service is absolutely the best. They are courteous, efficient, realistically priced, and most importantly, they deliver quality work on time and to budget.

It’s a classic example of a small team where the owners are passionate about their work and treat every job small or large as important to them as it is to the customer.

Keep up the good work, Martin and Stuart.

Thank you so much to these guys… absolutely fab. Some idiot of a driver drive into the back of me when I was stationary at traffic lights… damaged the rear of my Peugeot… called these guys who sorted everything out… courtesy car dropped off and Car magic came and collect mine… I can not recommend them enough… they kept me up to date with what was going on and communication was fabulous. So polite and helpful, and all on the 3rd party’s insurance. Thank you again guys x

When a body repair specialist does a great job for you once, that’s worth writing in about, but when they’ve done three excellent jobs on three different cars over a four month period, one of which is your mother-in-law’s, then this almost calls for a testimonial of essay length! Each repair was completed to the highest of standards and at very reasonable cost. Martin and Stuart are a great pleasure to do business with and as good as their word on the estimates they provide. Recommended them to a friend who has also left a five star review. Much as I love their work, I am praying not to see them for another while yet!
