A new same-day car bodywork repair service has launched at Tesco Extra Mansfield on Chesterfield Road South, operated by automotive repair specialists Xpress Centres.

The Xpress Centre, located within the supermarket’s car park, will repair minor accident damage, including scratches, scrapes, dents and cracks on roofs and bonnets, wings, doors, quarter-panels, bumpers and tailgates.

Craig O’Shaughnessy, of Xpress Centres, said: “We are an ideal fit for around 40% of all accident repairs.

“We are building a national brand to deliver a high-street experience, bringing vehicle repair out of the industrial estate and into a retail environment to meet the future needs of drivers.

“We want to put the customer in the driving seat when it comes to the repair of their vehicle, and bring the bodyshop into a familiar and accessible retail location.

“Accidents are usually stressful, time-consuming and expensive, so we’ve done all we can to take the despair out of repair.”

“Customers choose when and where they want their vehicle repaired, and have access to a premium courtesy car so they can continue with their day. We even offer a ‘Repair Now, Pay Later’ option to help spread the cost of the work over monthly payments with no interest and no fees.

“Over the past few years we have seen a dramatic rise in the amount of minor accident repairs, as a result of traffic congestion, speed restrictions and vehicle safety technologies reducing the severity of accidents.

“At Xpress Centres we’re an ideal fit for around 40% of all accident repairs – and we expect that to increase as driver aids become commonplace.”
