As long as there have been cars there has also been people to repair them, weather its mechanical problems or body repair work repairs, these business go hand in hand with each other. Originally the only place to have any form of auto body repair carried out would have been the cars manufacture, this was the norm for most part of the early 20th century until in the mid 1950's when the need for body repairs increased due to the rise in accidents because of the amount of vehicles on the road. From the rise in demand for the auto repair service new independent body shops or accident repair centres began to be formed and has steadily increased up to present day.
During the 1980's a wealth culture sprang up with cars more than ever being used as status symbols and must have objects, this saw the increase in car sale centres, dealer ships and automobile showrooms throughout the 80's and into the 90's. Due to the high demand of vehicles where people had more dispensable cash to spend on them, car sale centres could not afford to have their vehicles off the forecourt for long periods of time in case of missing a sale, so the time taken to have a car delivered to the body shop or auto repair centre, to have it repaired and sent back to the dealer shipbecame less and less cost effective. So the idea was born to have a mobile version of a auto repair centre that specialised in small to medium are repairs ( smart repairs)which would come to you to have the car body repaired. These mobile car body repair services began in the unitedstates and came across to the UK in the 1990's and since then have been on the increase ever since.
Originally designed for the trade mobile car body repair or smart repairs services are now branching out to the public as well, not only reducing the costs for dealerships but also Joe public, letting everybody reap the benefits from what mobile car body repair services have to offer.
