Headlight Repair for Garages and Bodyshops
Headlight repair for garages and bodyshops works as a subcontract: you take the headlight off, we repair it in about 72 hours in the workshop and send it back ready to refit, with a one-year written warranty. Your customer keeps the original headlight and you keep the labour for removing and refitting it.
What you can offer your customer
When a car comes in with a misted, chipped or tab-broken headlight, a new unit isn't the only way out. Repairing the original costs a fraction of a new headlight and avoids the wait for a part, especially on discontinued models or LED and matrix units.
It is a second offer the customer takes up readily; the fitting margin stays with you.
How it works for a garage
- Ask for a quote with the form: photos of the headlight (lens and housing), make, model, registration and VIN. We reply 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 workshop. You pack each unit in a box with bubble wrap. From the UK, contact us first: the customs paperwork is set out in the quote.
- We repair it in about 72 hours in the workshop and send it back ready to refit, with a one-year written warranty.
If you send several headlights a month, collections are grouped. Tell us your volume and we send you terms.
What we repair and what we don't
We repair the lens, condensation by renewing the seal, cracked housings and broken mounting tabs, and the electronics of LED headlights and daytime running lights.
We don't polish lenses, we don't sell new headlights and we don't repair xenon ballasts or igniters. On a xenon unit we deal with the headlight itself: lens, housing and seal.
Price and invoicing to the garage
Repairs start from €400 + VAT per headlight; the fixed price comes after we have seen the photos, never blind. The invoice is issued to your business.
Volume terms, how often collections run, how to pay and how VAT is applied to a business in Ireland or the UK are confirmed in the quote.
Everything we repair is listed under headlight repair.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have trade prices for garages?
Terms depend on monthly volume. Put it in the form and we send them to you in writing within 24 hours.
Can I send several headlights in one shipment?
Yes. Each headlight travels identified by its registration and its quote; collection and return are done in a single shipment.
What if the headlight can't be repaired?
We tell you at diagnosis, before touching it, and the headlight goes back as it arrived; only the shipping is charged if it has already travelled.
