For those in the motoring trade, the key to making profit is maintaining or increasing a vehicle's value.

For more details on each service, please navigate the site using the tabs at the top of the page. Trade bookings will usually comprise our technician, Craig Richardson, attending at your premises to complete multiple jobs over the course of a day. At present, Craig travels all across the north-west to various garages and dealerships, carrying out paint and wheel repair services to an extremely high standard. He works efficiently, but carries out each repair to the same standards of excellence that he would apply to high-level private work. With many satisfied and long-standing trade customers, including prestige dealerships, we know that there are many benefits to using Vehicle Vanity for our motor industry customers:
BENEFITS OF USING VEHICLE VANITY OVER IN-HOUSE OR FRANCHISED TECHNICIANS
Vehicle Vanity is:
Much more competitive on price: we are not a franchise or chain; therefore we do not charge VAT or factor management fees or a franchise contract percentage fee into our trade quotes, like larger firms such as Chips Away or Revive. As we are a mobile sole trader, we have no overheads or office staff to pay which means we can pass on our savings to you.
Far cheaper than using in-house technicians - we won't take time off or book holidays at your expense, nor do you have to pay pension contributions, tax, national insurance (etc.) just to have us on your books.
We generally work faster than in-house technicians, but to an extremely high standard - as Craig is paid per job rather than per year, he has honed his skills to ensure that he is able to work diligently, efficiently and quickly.
We work to a consistently high standard, including completing two days each week for a lease return company. The standards of lease return companies are arguably amongst the highest in the motor industry. Work which isn't to a sufficiently high standard is returned unpaid, as vehicles are generally less than three years' old and in excellent overall condition. For this reason, Craig is able to assess jobs, colour match, blend and finish paintwork seamlessly to ensure the highest possible standards.
If you would like to book Craig, trade discounts will be applied for multiple jobs and repeat work. Please call him on 07921 360747 to discuss your needs.
RECIPROCAL WORK AND RECOMMENDATIONS
If you are a garage, tyre bay, dealership, lease return company or trader who is looking to recommend a 3rd party cosmetic paint or wheel refurbishment technician to your customers, we are only too happy to complete work at your premises, with no liability to you, and we will pay you a 10% referral fee of any work carried out in commission. You could say that's money for old rope. ;-)
