Get repairs that fit and function properly
Sound metal first
We cut back to sound metal before building the repair section that the job needs.
Shaped to fit the load
Fit, strength and surrounding component movement shape the fabrication approach.
Useful beyond one repair
Metal repairs can support MOT work, classic projects and broader mechanical jobs.
Metalwork repairs that consider the whole vehicle
Vehicle metalwork needs more than simply joining new steel to old. Corrosion, cracked mounts, damaged brackets, weakened panels and one-off component needs all have to be assessed in the context of the surrounding structure and the job that part is doing. We expose sound metal, define the affected area and choose a repair approach that suits the load, the location and the way nearby mechanical parts need to fit or move. Metalwork problems brought to LMA Autotech are treated as part of the vehicle, not as a separate craft project with no link to how it drives.
Preparation, fit and strength all matter
The work itself is methodical: preparation, removal of damaged material, forming repair sections, welding and finishing the repaired area so the result fits and functions properly. With LMA Autotech, fabrication decisions also take access, strength and surrounding mechanical operation into account, which matters around brackets, mounts and bespoke sections. This capability supports MOT preparation, classic vehicle projects and wider repairs where the metalwork is the reason a mechanical job cannot simply be bolted together and forgotten.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of vehicle metalwork can you repair?
We can help with issues such as corrosion repairs, damaged brackets, mounts, panels and bespoke metal sections. The exact approach depends on where the damage is, what the part supports and how the surrounding structure is affected.
Why does the surrounding structure matter?
Because a repair has to do the job the original section was doing, not just look tidy in isolation. Load, access, strength and the movement of nearby mechanical components all affect how the repair or fabricated section should be made.
Can welding be combined with mechanical repairs?
Yes. That is often the point. Sometimes the metalwork is the reason another mechanical job cannot be completed properly, and dealing with both together helps avoid half-finished repairs and awkward repeat visits.
