Lotus Accident Repair & Bodywork in Glasgow
TouchUps Body Shop carries out bodywork and accident repair for Lotus vehicles in Glasgow. Whether your Elise, Exige, Evora, or Emira has taken damage, we have the qualifications and equipment to carry out the repair correctly.
Why Lotus Owners Choose TouchUps Body Shop
Lotus vehicles are built around lightweight construction and precision engineering, which makes the choice of repairer more important than it is for most cars. Our technicians hold structural aluminium certifications that the majority of body shops cannot offer, putting us in a position to handle the kind of repair work a Lotus actually demands. IMI Level 3 and Level 4 hybrid qualifications are held across the team and renewed every three years, paint is matched to any finish without restriction, and a lifetime guarantee covers every repair for as long as the vehicle remains yours.
Lotus Repair Services
Minor Bodywork & Cosmetic Repairs
Surface damage, paint chips, scratches, and scuffs repaired and refinished accurately. Lotus paintwork is colour-matched in a temperature-controlled spray booth using water-based systems, covering standard and specialist finishes alike.
Collision & Structural Repair
The lightweight aluminium construction that defines many Lotus models requires specialist handling after a collision. Our structural aluminium certifications cover this work in full, keeping panel replacement, chassis repair, MIG welding, and structural straightening on site rather than referred out.
ADAS & Sensor Recalibration
Driver assistance systems fitted to newer Lotus models need precise recalibration following any repair that alters geometry or affects sensor mounting. Our digital ADAS equipment is compatible with all manufacturers, and the 360 calibration mat we use covers every configuration accurately.
Paint Matching & Finish
Any Lotus colour or finish is within scope for our spray booth, satin and specialist paintwork included. This is not work we turn away or outsource.
Technicians with the Right Qualifications
Our panel and paint technicians hold IMI Level 3 and Level 4 hybrid certifications alongside structural aluminium qualifications, with the full team recertifying every three years. On a vehicle like a Lotus, where the construction tolerances are tight and the materials are specific, that level of qualification is not optional. Every completed repair carries a lifetime guarantee for the duration of your ownership.
Glasgow Service Area
Our workshop is positioned close to the M8 and M74, within straightforward reach of Glasgow city centre and the surrounding areas. Lotus owners travel to us from across the region including Newton Mearns, Bearsden, East Kilbride, Paisley, and Hamilton.
