01The work

Before and after, from the same workshop.

Real jobs from Abbotsford Road. Before is what came in. After is what went home. The arch repair is the same angle — drag that one.

Front end. Bumper, bonnet and wing on a blue Scirocco. In with the bumper split and the lamp masked. Out with the front end reading as one car again.

Panel saved. The same door. It came in creased hard enough to look like a new panel. It went home beaten out and painted, original metal kept.

Same angle. One arch, one camera angle. Drag across. The scuff is on the left, the repair is on the right. The panel was kept, not replaced.

Bumper. Rear bumper and corner on the same Juke. Scratches and tape on the way in. Shut lines and paint put back before it left.

Not just cars. Caravans as well as cars. This Swift came in with the front opened up. It left masked, painted and put back together in the Felling workshop.

Colour match. Two shots of the same Long Beach Blue bonnet job. The front end came in a shade out. The close-up is the blend after paint, so the bonnet reads as one colour.

Accident repair. A heavy hit through the rear quarter. The close-up is the damage. The full rear is the car after the panel, parts and booth paint.

02What we repair

Bodyshop work for the North East, not a menu of mystery prices.

  • Accident repair

    Quarters, bumpers and arches put back so the shut lines and the paint both look right. We price the job before a panel comes off.

  • Dent removal

    Car-park dings, door edges and small creases. If it can be saved without a full respray, that is what we do.

  • Full respray

    Colour-matched booth work, from a single bonnet to a full respray. The finish is laid properly, not blown over the dirt.

  • Bumper repair

    Scuffed, cracked or split bumpers repaired or replaced, then painted to the car — not left a shade out.

  • Restoration

    Older cars that deserve the time. Panel, prep and paint for a finish you can stand next to in daylight.

  • Caravans, vans and more

    Caravans, vans, boats and motorbikes as well as cars. If it needs paint or a panel, ring and ask.

03In the booth

Paint you can pause on. No filters, no likes in the way.

Short clips from jobs in the workshop. Press play. Sound is off — the finish is the point.

  • Red, just laid

    Fresh colour in the booth. The clip cuts while the gun is still moving.

  • Silver blend

    A metallic that has to match the rest of the car, not just the panel.

  • In the booth

    Another panel, same booth. Prep and paint, not a filter.

  1. 01

    Tell us what happened

    Call, text, or send the form. A photo helps. A reg number helps more.

  2. 02

    We look at the vehicle

    Drop it in on Abbotsford Road. We check the panel, the paint and what is actually bent.

  3. 03

    You get a price first

    Free quote, agreed before we start. Customers say we don't tip you off. That is the idea.

  4. 04

    Panel, paint, hand it back

    Repair, colour and a finish you can see in daylight. We say when it will be ready.

04What drivers say

100% recommend. Seven reviews, none of them bought.

Words from the Facebook page, kept as they were written.

Will 1000% be recommending Altone to everyone. Amazing service from start to finish. Kept me up to date with the full process and the end result on my car is just fantastic.

Car body repairs across Gateshead and the North East.

The workshop is in Felling. People book in from Newcastle, Washington, South Shields, Sunderland and the towns in between when they want a local bodyshop for dent removal, a bumper, accident repair or a full respray — cars, vans and caravans included. If you can get it to Abbotsford Road, we can look at it.

Questions, answered straight.

Where is the bodyshop?

Eddie's Altone is on Abbotsford Road, Felling, Gateshead, NE10 0EX. Drivers come from across Gateshead, Newcastle and the wider North East. Ring before you set off so someone is there to look at the car.

Do you only repair cars?

No. Day to day it is cars and vans, and we also respray caravans and take on boats and motorbikes. If you are not sure it is our sort of job, call — we would rather say so than guess.

Can you match the original colour?

Yes. Bonnets, bumpers and blend-ins are matched in the booth, and we do full resprays when the whole car needs it. A recent one was a BMW bonnet in Long Beach Blue.

How do I get a quote for bodywork in Gateshead?

Call 0191 438 6362, text 07740 051989, or use the form and we will talk you through it. The quote is free. We do not take card details on this website.

How long does a dent or respray take?

A bumper or a small dent is often a short turnaround. Accident work and a full respray need longer in the booth. You get a date when we have seen the vehicle, not a guess over the phone.

Do you repair accident damage?

Yes. Quarters, bumpers and arches are regular work. Tell us what happened and we will explain the straightforward way to get it repaired.
