Headlight Repair for the Trade
Headlight repair for the trade means you take the unit off the car, we repair it in our workshops in Ciudad Real and Valencia, Spain, and send it back ready to refit, invoiced to your business. Lenses, seals, housings, mounting tabs and LED modules for garages, dealers, fleets and assessors across the UK and Ireland: the second option when the only other one is a new headlight.
Why send the repair out
A new headlight costs several hundred euros or more; repairing the original costs a fraction, and it is a second offer the customer accepts more readily.
- About 72 hours in the workshop, not counting the courier.
- A one-year written warranty on every repair.
- The labour for removing and refitting the headlight stays with you.
How we work with the trade
We ask for photos of the headlight (lens and housing), make, model, registration and VIN, and reply with a quote within 24 hours.
- The quote confirms the courier, the cost of shipping both ways, the transit time and how to pay, before anything leaves your premises. From the UK, contact us first: the customs paperwork is set out in the quote.
- You pack the headlight in a box with bubble wrap; it comes back packed the same way.
- We repair it in about 72 hours in the workshop and return it ready to refit.
Garages and bodyshops
Subcontract the repair: you remove and refit, we repair in about 72 hours and send the unit back ready. Your customer keeps the original and you keep the fitting labour. Details in headlight repair for garages and bodyshops.
Used car dealers
The part-exchange that comes in with a misted, chipped or tab-broken headlight goes on the forecourt with it repaired, in batches and on a single quote. How it works in headlight repair for used car dealers.
Fleets, leasing and rental
A predictable cost per incident and collections by route or depot; repairing before the vehicle goes back avoids the damage recharge. Explained in headlight repair for fleets and leasing companies.
Insurance assessors
With the photos and the VIN we price the repair within 24 hours, without moving the vehicle; on discontinued headlights, 3D-printed tabs and brackets make repair the only route. More in headlight repair for insurance assessors.
Trade terms
Terms are adjusted to volume.
Repairs start from €400 + VAT per headlight. The fixed price comes after we have seen each case. The invoice is issued to your business; how VAT is applied to a business in Ireland, elsewhere in the EU or in the UK is confirmed in the quote.
Tell us your monthly volume in the form and we come back with terms and invoicing details within 24 hours.
