FS Solutions: mobile SMART repair and body shop in Kent

FS Solutions is a SMART (Small, Medium Area Repair Technology) repair and body shop company based in Leigh, Tonbridge, in the county of Kent. Its activity combines its own workshop with a mobile service that brings the work equipment to the customer's home, workplace or roadside, covering from Erith to Ashford and locations such as Dartford, Maidstone, Medway, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks.

The company presents itself as a specialist in alloy wheel refurbishment, body repairs, colour changes and detailing, and states it has a team made up of body shop professionals, painters and wheel specialists. According to its own description, the company started with a single employee and gradually expanded its staff and customer base to have a fleet of equipped vehicles.

Repair and painting services

FS Solutions' service catalogue covers several areas of work on the vehicle:

• Alloy wheel refurbishment: restoration, repair and repainting of damaged wheels, with removal, treatment and subsequent refitting. Includes powder coating, diamond cutting and repainting, as well as matte or gloss finishes and colour changes.
• Body shop: damage assessment by technicians and repair with workshop equipment. Dents, scrapes and various damages are carried out, as well as panel replacements and panel damage repairs.
• SMART repairs: localised repair of damaged areas with specialised tools, paint and materials, without the need to treat the whole panel as in a traditional body shop.
• Bumpers: restoration, repair and repainting of front or rear bumpers, including removal, sanding, repair, coating and repainting to the original colour.
• Colour changes: colour change of the vehicle or specific panels, carried out in the workshop or using mobile paint booths.
• Scratch removal: treatment of scratches and imperfections, with sanding, colour matching and repainting.
• Detailing: detailing and finishing work on the vehicle's paint.
• Other work: repair of paint chips and vandalism damage.

Workshop in Leigh and mobile service

The company has a body shop in a large unit in Leigh, Tonbridge. According to its description, this space allows it to handle more vehicles, have more equipment and store vehicles overnight for longer jobs. The workshop includes a professional paint booth and live colour matching technology, and allows full body resprays, colour changes and colour matching repairs.

At the same time, FS Solutions maintains a mobile service with equipped vehicles. The company highlights that its SMART repair vans include paint booths, which, according to its presentation, is not common among other companies in the sector. The mobile team also has paint ovens and high-velocity lamps for curing, so that the paint is baked at the right temperature. To work in bad weather, the company can set up a portable tent or gazebo.

Work process

The procedure described by the company begins with sending a photograph of the damage via WhatsApp or a phone call, from which the quote is organised and a date and time are set. The team travels to the destination to lift the vehicle and start work, or the customer can go to the Leigh workshop. Once the repair is finished — wheel fitting, paint polishing or detailing — the customer receives the vehicle. The company requests feedback on the work carried out.

Equipment and reference brands

The website shows logos of brands and manufacturers of equipment and products such as Milwaukee, Optima, SATA, ProXL, Mirka, Novol, Anest Iwata, Indasa and 3M Chemicals, which indicates the type of tools and materials used in its painting and repair work.

Background and coverage

Its team comes from fields such as mechanics, bodywork and painting. The company states it maintains a 100% satisfaction rate and operates from Kent, serving customers from different areas.
