Everything you need to know about HGV repairs with The Spectrum VR Group
How long does a typical HGV repair take?
Turnaround times are dictated by the severity of the damage and parts availability, but our priority is always fleet uptime.
For minor cosmetic work at our Thurrock or Sidcup workshops, repairs can often be completed in just a few days.
For major structural accident damage, we provide a detailed timeline following our initial assessment to help you manage your vehicle’s downtime effectively.
Are your HGV repairs insurance-approved and accredited?
Yes, The Spectrum VR Group is a fully BS10125-accredited repairer.
We are approved by most major UK insurance companies and accident management providers.
This means our Sidcup and Thurrock teams can handle the claims process on your behalf, ensuring all HGV repairs meet strict manufacturer safety specifications and insurance requirements.
Do you handle major structural HGV and chassis repair?
Absolutely. Our commercial bodyshops are equipped with specialist heavy-duty chassis pulling equipment and Josam alignment systems.
Whether it’s a tractor unit, rigid, or trailer, we have the technical capability at our Essex facility to perform complex structural rebuilds that most standard garages cannot accommodate.
