New Bodyshop facility in Melksham

Dick Lovett Group are expanding their already successful Bodyshop function into Melksham with a facility which will support our dealerships and specialise in automotive accident repair, wheel refurbishments and SMART repairs.

After opening Jaguar Land Rover in 2017 and relocating our BMW and MINI Bath dealerships to Melksham in 2022, Dick Lovett are pleased to be adding a further business to the area. Melksham has now become a mini hub of Dick Lovett activity with four brands and the new Bodyshop facility.

How many Bodyshops do Dick Lovett have?

Our two established Bodyshops in Bristol and Swindon specialise in automotive accident repair, we also have a dedicated Wheel Centre Facility in Swindon which is located next door to our Ferrari dealership. The new facility will mean our customers benefit from additional services when visiting our BMW, MINI and Jaguar Land Rover Melksham dealerships.

Our Bodyshop in Melksham will offer a range of services as well as ensuring our stock cars are taken to our showrooms in an impressive condition. Facilitated through the Jaguar Land Rover and BMW dealerships, customers can book through their chosen dealership for work at the Melksham Bodyshop, which is a non-customer facing function.

"Dick Lovett has provided accident repair services to our customer for many years now and so we are hugely excited to bring these services - via our JLR, BMW & MINI Dealerships - to our customers in Melksham and the surrounding areas. Our new Bodyshop is already up and running, offering smart repair, light accident repair and alloy wheel refurbishment. Our plan is to grow our team and facility into a full crash repair centre over the coming years, which will provide many career opportunities for both existing and future Dick Lovett employees."
