At Carbody Banbury, we’ve been repairing cars for local drivers for decades, everything from minor scratches and scuffs to full panel and paintwork restoration. But did you know we’re also part of a wider family of vehicle specialists, working together to make car care in Banbury simpler than ever?
Following the acquisition of Wheel Deal Tyres, our sister company 14 Automotive was launched to bring top-quality tyre fitting, tyre repairs, and tyre replacements under the same roof of trusted local service.
Together, Carbody and 14 Automotive are setting new standards for vehicle care in Banbury, combining craftsmanship and technical know-how to keep your car looking and driving at its best.
“Carbody has always stood for quality,” says Leon Smith, Managing Director of both businesses. “When we brought Wheel Deal Tyres into the group and created 14 Automotive, it wasn’t just about expansion, it was about offering customers a complete, joined-up service, from bodywork to tyres, alignment to diagnostics.”
When Bodywork and Tyres Tell the Same Story
A lot of our customers come to us after a bump, scrape, or pothole incident. What many don’t realise is that the same impact that dents a panel or chips paintwork can also damage a tyre or throw out the wheel alignment.
That’s why our partnership with 14 Automotive works so well. While we take care of the cosmetic side, their team checks the tyres, wheels, and suspension, making sure your vehicle not only looks as good as new, but drives like it too.
“If you’ve clipped a kerb or hit a pothole hard enough to mark the paint, it’s worth checking your tyres and alignment too,” says Shane Fleming, Operations Manager. “A quick inspection can save you from uneven wear or steering issues later on.”
Trusted Repairs, Seamless Service
Whether your car’s booked in for a full respray, bumper repair, or alloy refurbishment, we can arrange for 14 Automotive to look at your tyres or tracking at the same time. It’s all part of making life easier for Banbury drivers.
Our teams share information across both sites, so you won’t have to explain your situation twice or wait longer than needed. From the first quote to the final polish, everything is coordinated with precision.
Local Businesses, Local Support
We’re proud of our Banbury roots and everything we do to give back. You’ve probably spotted our 14 Automotive Community Van at Banbury United RFC, where we’re proud supporters of the local club and community.
“Between Carbody and 14 Automotive, we’ve built something special,” Leon adds. “Two Banbury-based businesses that work hand in hand to keep local drivers safe, supported, and proud of their vehicles.”
