What our customers say

About Us

Over 30 Years of Trusted Service

Recommended by Our Customers – and Soon by You!


With more than three decades of experience, Fairfax has earned a reputation for precision, quality, and reliability in car repairs and restorations.


Originally located on Fairfax Drive, we now operate from our modern premises on Purdeys Industrial Estate in Rochford, ideally situated for customers in Rochford, Southend, Hockley, and the surrounding areas.


We work on all kinds of vehicles – from everyday family cars to classic, vintage, and American models. While accident repair is our core service, we also offer a comprehensive range of mechanical solutions including full and interim servicing, brake systems, clutches, exhausts, and general repairs.


What sets us apart is our thriving commercial paint spraying division, providing manufacturers with fast, cost-effective finishing for products of all sizes – from one-offs to large batch work.


When it comes to car care, Fairfax Body Shop & Garage is the name you can trust – recommended time and again by our loyal customers.


Restoration is a large proportion of our business and if you care to visit our Projects Page, you can find one of many examples of restoration taking place. Nothing gives us more pride, than a vehicle completed looking as though it's just come out of the showroom. Classic and vintage cars will look amazing, when they've had the magic hands of the Fairfax expert team applied. We have many delighted customers and given the opportunity, you will be delighted too.

Age is unimportant whether your car is a few hours or 40 years old, our team can repair or restore your car to look like new in no time at all. Older cars sometimes have problems with structural bodywork which fails the MOT. Fairfax can offer very cost effective solutions to you for MOT failures, that will extend the life of your car without breaking the bank.

Your car - Your choice!


Don't let your insurer dictate to you, where you will have your car repaired. It's your investment and you should protect it as you would any other investment.

Important: Please talk to us before you approach your insurers.


If you've had a no blame incident, or perhaps suffered at the hand of vandalism, it could be more cost effective for you not to jeopardise your no claims bonus.


We can (and will) deal with your insurers if you wish us to do so. You do not have to use the insurers recommended garage. It's vitally important you make sure wherever you go, you will get the same meticulous attention to detail, that Fairfax can provide.


The staff at Fairfax, have many years of expertise at your disposal. We are not a fly-by-night operation and pride ourselves on gaining (and keeping) customers of many years standing. To that end, we are happy to help you determine the best way to approach an unfortunate accident and advise you on the most cost effective way for you to resolve the situation.


Body repairs are a highly skilled service, combining technical expertise with art. We have gained our respected reputation over many years of high quality work and work very hard to maintain that reputation.


Rest assured, your car will be in very good and capable hands at Fairfax Body Shop & Garage.


Please give us a call, or visit us to discuss first hand the best solution for you. After all, a chat and an estimate will cost you nothing!
