H R Owen buys Berkshire-based accident repair firm Bodytechnics

10:52 am, February 9, 2016

H R Owen has bought leading accident repair company Bodytechnics.

The acquisition brings another element to the end-to-end concierge-style approach to client care offered by the luxury car dealer group.

Bodytechnics is renowned as the UK’s leading bodyshop for prestige and luxury cars, fitting in perfectly with the H R Owen ethos of offering the very levels of service and care to their clients.

Bodytechnics, based in Slough, was established more than 20 years ago and enjoys long-standing relationships with many major luxury car manufacturers, including the likes of Bentley, Ferrari and Maserati, meaning it is able to carry out work that is officially approved by brands offered across the H R Owen group.

Bodytechnics sets itself apart from other accident repairers thanks to its expertise with the sort of rare and prestigious materials found on the most exclusive supercars and hypercars. The team is the best in the prestige accident repair business and is renowned for its ability to work with carbon fibre bodywork, and for its composite repairs.

As well as this new service, H R Owen is also able to offer insurance, prestige car hire and, for those special occasions, a chauffeur service that goes into London and beyond.

H R Owen Ferrari has been named the best Ferrari dealership in the world, while Jack Barclay in Berkeley Square will be the only place in the UK where customers will be able to buy the new Chiron when it goes on sale later this year.

David Fellowes, group aftersales director for H R Owen, said: ‘H R Owen customers have been able to enjoy an unparalleled level of service when it comes to buying their car and when things are going well, but now we are able to help them out when the worst happens.

‘Accidents happen, but they need not be a cause for concern for our customers, as we are now able to take care of everything, getting their car repaired and back on the road as good as new thanks to the expert team at Bodytechnics.’
