About Chaplane Vehicle Accident Repair Bodyshop Colchester, Essex
First established by Alan Chapman in 1968, Chaplane is an independent, family run vehicle accident repair centre based in Colchester, Essex, that continues to go from strength to strength under the direction of his son Paul.
Work alongside the UK’s leading manufacturers, insurers, accident management companies, and local business fleets, as well as private vehicle owners, we carry out body repairs on all makes and models of cars, electric vehicles, and light commercial vans.
As a family run business we aim to deliver a personal touch to all our customers, often missed by large bodyshop groups, and our much valued accreditations and manufacturer approvals guarantee only the highest standards. Customer service and satisfaction are at the heart of everything we do.
