Headlight Repair for Used Car Dealers
Headlight repair for used car dealers sorts the part-exchange or auction car that comes in with a misted, chipped or tab-broken headlight: we repair it before the car goes on the forecourt, for a fraction of the cost of a new unit and with a one-year written warranty.
The headlight that comes in with the part-exchange
A headlight with mist inside, a pitted lens or a snapped tab knocks more off the sale price than it costs to fix, and it can be picked up at the MOT or NCT.
On a used car a new headlight rarely pays: the original, repaired, fits with its factory alignment and doesn't show on the forecourt.
Repair before it goes on sale
The loop is short: the headlight comes off the car in your compound, travels by courier, comes back repaired after about 72 hours in the workshop, and the car goes on sale with two matching headlights.
What gets repaired in each case is on the headlight repair page; LED units have their own: LED headlight repair.
How we work with dealers
- 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 site. 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.
With several cars a month, collections are grouped: one shipment with every headlight identified by registration, and a single quote per batch.
Price per headlight and invoicing
Repairs start from €400 + VAT per headlight; the fixed price comes after we have seen the photos. The invoice is issued to your business.
Volume terms, the turnaround for batches, how to pay and how VAT is applied to a business in Ireland or the UK are confirmed in the quote.
Frequently asked questions
Do you price by volume?
Yes, by headlights per month. Put it in the form and we send you terms in writing within 24 hours.
How long for a car in stock?
About 72 hours in the workshop plus the courier both ways; the exact turnaround for each batch is in the quote.
Can you collect several headlights at once?
Yes. The courier collects the batch at your site and returns it in one shipment, each headlight with its registration.
