What our customers say

About Us

 Our customers recommend us, you will too!



It is here we hope to give you an insight into what we are all about.


Fairfax has been established for over 20 years, gaining an enviable reputation for meticulous repairs and restoration of cars. The Fairfax name, comes from our roots being an established car garage in Fairfax Drive for many years. We are now located on Purdeys Industrial Estate in Rochford. This offers great access for Rochford, Southend, Hockley and the surrounding area.


We can offer services for your family car, classic car, American car, vintage car or practically any other vehicle that will fit in our garage.


While accident repairs are a core focus of our work, we also provide a comprehensive range of mechanical services, including major and minor servicing, clutches, brakes, exhausts, and various other mechanical repairs.


Unlike most other body shops, we also offer a thriving commercial services operation, that offers manufacturers a complete paint spraying service for their products. Large or small batches can be accommodated at very fast turn around times and at a very competitive prices.

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!

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Terrific! Couldn't even see where the rust was!
From start to finish the service exceeded my expectations! When I handed the car over everything re the repair process was explained thoroughly.
During the work I was kept up to date with telephone calls and was always welcome to view the progress
The repairs to my car were awkward and time consuming dealing with extensive corrosion but the end result was like a new car!
I am so pleased I chose Fairfax to work on my pride and joy and I already have 2 other vehicles I will get quotes for.
It wasn't a cheap job, nor expensive given the considerable time it took them.
If you need bodywork done by people who share your passion for your car then talk to them!
They also returned my car clean, and used paper mats in the foot wells. Thank you all so much for a terrific job!



Geoff Grove

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. They did a fantastic job of sorting out the bodywork on my Ford Capri. The car came back better than I could have hoped & they were open & upfront about what was needed right from the start. Great people to deal with.



Paul Jennings

Very obvious from the get go that Jeff at Fairfax is hugely experienced, fairly priced and trustworthy. Great communication and a wealth of knowledge on cars. Whether it be a simple wing or rebuilding an entire car.





Paul Lasky

Couldn`t avoid a fallen tree leaving nasty scratches all the way down one side. After some ridiculous quotes chanced on Fairfax Body shop.

Repair was superb and a fraction of the cost compared to others, don`t waste your time getting endless quotes go straight to Fairfax..


Stuart Holland

First class service from discussion for what you would like them to do, to pick up of your vehicle


Roddy Jones

Aubrey

Have used Fairfax Body Shop for many years, both Jeff and Graham are very experienced and always provide excellent service at a very reasonable price.....would not go anywhere else!


Glyn Chipperfield

Gave me very good advice and were helpful in discussing my options.



Michael Mullally

My beloved Jaguar needed some TLC after 17 years of standing outside. The roof was dull and had no shine, and I had carelessly scraped the font bumper. It came back looking stunning!
