Reception and Waiting Room

A visit to the Accident Repair Centre is something we could all do without - it is however something that is at times unfortunately unavoidable. In order to make your visit to the centre more enjoyable we have paid attention to ensuring the reception and waiting areas are as customer friendly as possible. You can relax in the waiting room and enjoy a freshly brewed coffee whilst sitting back in one of our comfy leather seats. Why not read a magazine or watch a DVD on our top of the range, flat screen, plasma T.V. Hopefully you will not be waiting long, but while you are, we would like to ensure your wait is comfortable and relaxing.

PDI Centre

Within the site of the new accident repair centre we also have the Eastern Western Motor Groups' Pre Delivery Inspection or PDI Centre. This provides a thorough check on all new vehicles before they are delivered to the showrooms for handover and deals with approximately 500 vehicles per week.

In addition to the PDI centre there are 2 stand up power wash bays and a Hercules Car Wash. The Hercules Car Wash provides a top of the range service utilising a water purification system. This purifies the water to 10 parts per million, ensuring a spot free rinse and eliminating the use of a chamois.

Smart Repair

Our Smart Repair Booth is used to repair vehicles that have endured small-scale localised damage to areas such as bumpers, trims, windscreens and alloy wheels. This service ensures a quick, one-day turnaround, avoiding the full body shop process and provides localised repair work to between 6 – 8 vehicles a day with the help of 4 highly trained technicians.

Workshop

The workshop accounts for 35,000 square feet of the total building space within the Groups' Accident Repair Centre at Broxburn. It provides equipment and facilities of the highest standard, all installed to help reduce the length of time your car is off the road, and to make the whole Accident Repair Centre experience a better one for you.

The workshop is manned by 30 highly trained technicians who deal with repairs on up to 150 vehicles per week, utilising some of the highly impressive new equipment including a 3 bay Korek global jig, 2 separated aluminium welding bays, the latest Invertor welding equipment and computerised measuring systems. These help ensure the accident repair process is carried out to the highest standards, set by the strict manufacturer guidelines, and in the most time-efficient manner.

Spray Booths

A prominent inclusion within the new Accident Repair Centre is that of 3 state of the art drive through spray ovens, provided by USI Italia, one of the world’s leading spray booth manufacturers.

Using direct drive motors and blower systems these ovens ensure drying time is improved by up to 50% whilst still providing optimum drying to manufacturers specifications. The system directs high volume, filtered and heated air vertically through the booths. This, combined with either programmed exhausted or recirculated air cycles, provides the most efficient way to cure paint, holding down energy costs and improving throughput. The USI spray booths can be used to colour anything from entire vehicles to small individual vehicle parts.

In addition to the 3 spray ovens we also have a mixing room, with dedicated colourist, where colour can be matched by computer formulation set by the manufacturers.

Handover Bay

Our customer handover bay provides a covered pick up point for the collection of your vehicle. This is especially important in occasions of inclement weather when you can go straight from our waiting room to the handover bay without stepping foot outside. One of our trained members of staff will then talk you through the repairs that have been made to your vehicle whilst under cover, away from the possible elements. Something especially important throughout the winter months.

This provides another level of customer convenience ensuring the handover process is as efficient and stress free as possible.
