Accident & Crash Repairs in Baldoyle, Dublin 13
Accident and crash repairs in one place: dents and panels, bumpers, paintwork, collision damage and the mechanical repairs that go with it.

About this service
BNT Autos Baldoyle carries out accident and crash repairs on cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, returning them to pre-accident condition using modern tools and colour-matching techniques. We handle everything from a scuffed bumper to full structural repairs after a heavier collision.
Body damage covers a wide range: a car park knock that creased a door, a dented wing, a panel that needs repairing or replacing, paintwork that needs preparing and matching, and the mechanical or electrical damage that usually comes with a bigger impact.
Every job starts with an inspection, because the visible damage is rarely the whole story. A collision spreads load through the vehicle, so behind a bumper there can be crumpled mountings, damaged sensors, a bent panel edge, a knocked suspension arm or wheel alignment that is now out. Once we know what is actually involved, we set out the repair and the cost so you can decide how to proceed, whether you are paying directly or working through an insurance claim.
We also check the things that affect safety rather than appearance: steering and suspension geometry, tyre and wheel damage, cooling system leaks, lighting and any fault codes raised by the impact. Those are part of the repair rather than a separate job. If the cost of a full repair is high relative to the value of the vehicle, we will say so.
We look after private drivers and local businesses across Baldoyle, Sutton, Howth, Portmarnock, Raheny, Malahide, Swords and the wider North Dublin area.
The kinds of damage we deal with
- Car park knocks and minor bumps
- Scuffed bumpers, creased door edges and small dents. Cosmetic, but they affect how the car looks and what it is worth.
- Collision damage across several panels
- Displaced bumpers and lights, impacts that have moved panel gaps out of line, and doors or bonnets that catch or sit unevenly.
- Damaged panels and bodywork
- Wings, doors, bonnets and quarter panels repaired where possible, or replaced where the damage is beyond repair.
- Dents, scratches and scuffs
- Everything from a trolley scrape to a keyed door or a stone-chipped bonnet that has started to corrode.
- The car pulls or the steering feels off
- A knock to a wheel or corner can bend suspension components or disturb alignment, which shows up as pulling or uneven tyre wear.
- Leaks, overheating or new noises after the impact
- Front impacts frequently damage radiators, condensers and hoses, and knocking or rubbing underneath points to damage beyond the paintwork.
- Warning lights that appeared after the accident
- Airbag, ABS and engine lights can all be triggered by a collision and need diagnosing rather than ignoring.
- Damage that has begun to rust
- Once paint is broken, bare metal starts to corrode. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How the work is carried out
- Step 1
Call us and tell us what happened
Ring 01 839 4585 or 086 065 1518 and describe the damage. We will let you know whether the car is likely safe to drive in and arrange a time to see it.
- Step 2
Inspection at the workshop
We examine the visible damage and what sits behind it, including suspension, cooling and electrical items, so nothing is missed at the estimate stage.
- Step 3
Written estimate
You get a breakdown of the bodywork, paint and any mechanical repairs needed, with the cost, so you can decide how to proceed.
- Step 4
Your approval, or your insurer's
Nothing proceeds until the repair is authorised. If you are claiming, work proceeds in line with what your insurer approves.
- Step 5
Repair, refinish and reassemble
Panels are repaired or replaced, paint is prepared and colour matched, mechanical damage is put right and the vehicle is reassembled.
- Step 6
Final checks and collection
We check panel alignment and finish, road test where mechanical repairs were involved, and call you when the vehicle is ready.
Cars and vans covered
Cars, vans and light commercial vehicles of all makes and models, petrol, diesel and hybrid, for private drivers and local businesses.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I get an estimate before committing to anything?
- Yes. We inspect the damage and give you a written estimate covering the bodywork, paint and any mechanical repairs. You decide whether to go ahead.
- How soon should I get collision damage looked at?
- As soon as you can. Broken paint starts to corrode, and mechanical or suspension damage can get worse with driving. Getting it inspected early also means the estimate is available while a claim is still fresh.
- Should the panel be repaired or replaced?
- It depends on where the damage is and how the metal or plastic has deformed. Many dents and creases can be repaired and refinished; sharp tears, stretched metal or damage on a structural edge usually means replacement. We advise on each case.
- Will the new paint match the rest of the car?
- We colour match to your vehicle's existing paint and blend the repair into the surrounding panels. Paint fades with age and sunlight, which is exactly why matching and blending matter.
- Is my car safe to drive to you?
- Call us and describe the damage. Fluid leaks, damaged lights, a bonnet that will not latch, tyre or suspension damage and anything affecting steering or braking mean it should not be driven. We will advise on the phone.
- How long will the repair take?
- It depends on the extent of the damage and parts availability. A single panel and bumper is a much shorter job than structural work. We will give you an expected timeframe with the estimate.
- Can you also fix mechanical damage from the accident?
- Yes, and that is an advantage of using a workshop that does both. Suspension, steering, cooling, exhaust and electrical damage can be diagnosed and repaired alongside the bodywork.
- Do you repair vans as well as cars?
- Yes. We look after light commercial vehicles as well as private cars, including work vans used by local businesses.
- Do you provide a courtesy car or deal with my insurance company?
- [CONFIRM WITH BNT AUTOS] Please ask us directly about courtesy vehicles and insurance administration so we can tell you exactly what applies to your repair.
