Sandown Coachworks are trusted vehicle accident repair centres and EV Bodyshops. We cover the Central South of England and Greater London areas.
For over two decades, Sandown Coachworks has been at the forefront of accident repair for cars and commercial vehicles. As we've evolved, so has our commitment to innovation and the environment. Today, we're proud to offer specialised EV Bodyshops, dedicated to restoring your Electric and Hybrid Vehicles with the same expertise and care we've been known for since day one.
EV Bodyshops are quite different from the bodyshops where we repair Diesel and Petrol cars, mainly due to the specific needs of electric vehicles. Unlike traditional cars, EVs have complex electrical systems, high-voltage batteries, and unique materials that require specialised knowledge and equipment for safe and effective repairs. Our Technicians in our EV Bodyshops are trained to handle the components, ensuring the vehicle's safety and their own too. They have been retrained to work on EVs because the repair techniques used are specific to electric vehicles. All our repairs not only meet our high standards but also support the efficiency and longevity of all the electric vehicles that we work on.
If you're involved in an accident with your EV, the damage can often be quite significant due to the vehicle's weight. You may not know this, but when you notify your insurer, they’ll usually provide a list of their preferred EV bodyshops. However, you’re free to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Accidents are stressful enough, so why not let someone else handle the repairs and deal with your insurance company on your behalf? At Sandown Coachworks, we take care of the entire repair process for you, ensuring your vehicle is returned looking as good as the day it left the showroom. We also offer a courtesy car*, so you can stay on the move while we carry out the repairs.

At our EV bodyshops, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety for your vehicle, which is why we exclusively use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts for all repairs. These parts are made by the same manufacturer that produced your vehicle’s original components, ensuring a perfect fit and integration with your car's existing systems. We use OEM parts and we guarantee that your vehicle retains its original performance, safety features, and reliability, just as it was designed to do. Additionally, using OEM parts helps preserve your vehicle’s warranty and resale value, providing you with peace of mind knowing that every repair meets the exact specifications set by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
Can your body shop repair damage on all types of electric vehicles?
Yes, we specialise in repairing all types of electric vehicles, including popular brands like Tesla, Cupra, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche and more. Our team is equipped to handle the specific body repair needs of all EVs on the market. We restore all EVs to their pre-accident condition.
What makes repairing an EV different from a petrol or diesel vehicle?
Repairing an EV requires specialised knowledge and equipment due to the unique construction and materials used, such as aluminium and carbon fibre. The presence of an EVs high-voltage components also necessitates extra precautions to ensure safety of all technicians during the repair process.
Are your technicians trained to handle high-voltage systems during body repairs?
Yes, our technicians are fully trained to safely work on electric vehicles, including handling high-voltage systems. We follow strict safety protocols to de-energise the vehicle before beginning any repairs, ensuring both the safety of our team and your vehicle.
