Functional Bodywork Repairs Without the Hassle

A broken door lock, a stuck window, or a smashed mirror isn't just a defect; it is a daily frustration that makes your vehicle harder to use and significantly less secure.

The "Old Way" of fixing this usually involves booking into a traditional bodyshop, where you might wait weeks for a slot and lose your car for days because their workflow prioritises large cosmetic paint jobs over smaller mechanical fixes.

Maxamy Mobile Autocare offers the "Smart Way." We specialise in functional bodywork repairs—the mechanical components that move, lock, and secure your vehicle.

We fix the parts that stop your car from working correctly. By bringing the workshop to you, we turn a multi-day inconvenience into a simple, on-site repair that gets you back on the road in hours, not days.

Signs You Need a Functional Bodywork Repair

If you are struggling with any of the following issues, your vehicle’s security or roadworthiness is compromised. We can fix these common faults on your driveway:

Key Spins Freely: You turn the key in the door lock, but it spins without engaging, or the lock feels completely seized.

Window Won't Budge: You press the switch and hear a clicking or grinding sound, but the glass refuses to move.

Mirror Hanging Off: Your wing mirror is loose, vibrating excessively at speed, or the glass is shattered and unusable.

Glass Dropped Inside Door: The window has fallen into the door frame and won't come back up, leaving the interior exposed to the weather.

Door Won't Latch: The door bounces back when you try to shut it, or it cannot be locked manually.

Intermittent Operation: Windows or locks work sometimes but fail at other times, often indicating a motor or wiring fault.

Bodywork Repairs We Carry Out

Our bodywork services are deliberately focused on functional exterior components. We specialise in the parts that affect how your vehicle operates day-to-day, rather than cosmetic refinishing.

A faulty door lock cylinder can leave your vehicle insecure or impossible to lock and unlock manually. This issue is often caused by internal wear, attempted theft, corrosion, or key damage. We remove the damaged cylinder and fit a correct replacement for your specific vehicle. This restores proper locking function without affecting the central locking operation. Whether the key turns without engaging or the lock has seized entirely, we resolve the security risk on-site.

Electric window faults are common and frustrating. A failed window can expose your car's interior to rain and compromise security. We diagnose and repair faults ranging from windows that are stuck fully open to those making grinding noises inside the door. Depending on the specific fault, repairs may involve addressing electrical issues, replacing the window motor, or fitting a new regulator mechanism. We handle the entire repair without removing the vehicle from your driveway.

A damaged wing mirror affects visibility, safety, and legal compliance. Even minor damage to the housing or glass can make the mirror insecure or unusable. We replace wing mirrors when the housing is broken, the glass is cracked, or the unit has been damaged in a collision. Replacement units are fitted securely and aligned correctly to ensure you have full rear and side visibility restored immediately.

Bodywork Repairs

If your car is stuttering, losing power, or suffering from poor fuel economy, the issue likely sits within your fuel system. We specialise in cleaning or replacing fuel injectors, high-pressure pumps, and fuel filters to get your engine running smoothly again.

Your vehicle's brakes are its most crucial safety feature. If you notice a high-pitched squeal or a juddering sensation when braking, we offer comprehensive on-site replacements for pads, discs, sensors, and more. We use premium-grade parts that meet or exceed manufacturer standards to ensure your vehicle's stopping power is fully restored.

Nothing is more frustrating than a car that won’t start. We provide rapid-response repairs for starter motors, ignition coils, spark plugs, and glow plugs. We get to the root of the "non-start" issue so you can get back on the road with confidence.

Overheating is the quickest way to ruin an engine. We diagnose and repair leaking radiators, faulty water pumps, and stuck thermostats. We also ensure your cabin stays comfortable by fixing heater blowers and cooling fans.

Stay environmentally friendly and pass your next MOT with ease. We repair and replace exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters, and DPF systems. Our mobile service ensures your car runs quietly and efficiently while meeting strict UK emission standards.

Bodywork Repair FAQs

What bodywork repairs do you offer?

Bodywork repairs are limited to specific functional components rather than cosmetic or structural work. This includes car door lock cylinder replacement, electric window repair, and wing mirror replacement. These repairs focus on restoring proper operation, safety and convenience rather than appearance-only bodywork.

Do you repair or replace damaged wing mirrors?

Yes. Wing mirror replacement is available for mirrors that are cracked, loose, broken or no longer adjustable. This includes manual and electric mirrors, and where applicable, mirrors with integrated indicators or heating. The repair ensures safe visibility and road legality.

Can you fix electric windows that won’t open or close?

Yes. Electric window repairs are carried out where windows have stopped working, become stuck, move slowly, or make grinding or clicking noises. The fault may lie with the window regulator, motor, switch or wiring, and the repair focuses on restoring smooth and reliable operation.

What is a car door lock cylinder replacement?

A door lock cylinder replacement involves removing and replacing the mechanical lock barrel inside the door. This is typically required if the key will not turn, the lock has seized, or the cylinder has been damaged due to wear or attempted theft. Replacing the cylinder restores secure and reliable locking.

Are these bodywork repairs carried out at my location?

Yes. All bodywork repairs offered are completed as a mobile service, meaning the work is carried out at your home or workplace where possible. This removes the need to visit a body shop or garage for these specific repairs.

Are these repairs cosmetic or functional?

These repairs are functional rather than cosmetic. They are focused on safety, access, security and day-to-day usability of the vehicle. Cosmetic repairs such as dent removal, paintwork or panel refinishing are not included.

Can these repairs help with MOT or safety issues?

Yes. Faulty wing mirrors, inoperative windows (in certain cases), or broken door locking mechanisms can contribute to safety concerns or MOT advisories. Repairing these components helps ensure the vehicle remains road-safe and compliant.

How do I know if my issue is covered under bodywork repairs?

If the issue relates specifically to a door lock cylinder, electric window mechanism or wing mirror, it is covered. If the problem involves dents, scratches, paint damage or structural panels, it would fall outside the scope of the bodywork repairs offered. If unsure, it’s always best to describe the issue so it can be confirmed before booking.
