The old way
Every London driver already knows the big bodyshop rip-offs.
A bump or a scrape is stressful enough. The repair shouldn’t be the second one. Here’s what most drivers put up with at a chain bodyshop, and what we won’t do on Lukin Street.
Quoted one price, charged another
Hidden labour hours, consumables, "unforeseen" extras bolted onto the invoice once the car’s in bits. You only see the real number when it’s too late to walk away.
Weeks in the back of someone’s yard
Insurance-approved chains can park your car for a fortnight before anyone lifts a spanner. Meanwhile you’re on the tube, paying for Ubers, missing work and still chasing the claim handler.
A colour that never quite matches
Metallic silvers and pearls need proper panel blending, not a cheap close-enough spray. Two years later, the repaired door has faded a half-shade off the rest of the car and you see it every time you walk up to it.
No comeback when things go wrong
The paintwork bubbles, a clip wasn’t put back on, the bumper sits proud. You ring the shop and suddenly nobody can find the paperwork. The guarantee was only ever on the leaflet.
The Haque way
Your car back to factory standard. Not back-street standard.
A small independent workshop in Stepney doing the kind of repair a main dealer would be happy to sign off. Four things we won’t bend on, whatever you drive onto Lukin Street.
Factory-standard paint and panel work on any make.
Paint matched to your car’s factory colour code, panels finished to the standard the factory set. The kind of finish that’d pass a trade-in, not one that hides until it rains.
One quote. No surprises.
Every quote’s broken down clearly. If we find extra damage once the panels are off, you say yes to the new price before we do another thing.
Twenty years in the same trade.
Same team, same workshop, same standard. You’ll speak to the person doing the job, not a head-office call centre reading off a script.
Phone or WhatsApp. Whatever suits.
Ring us on 07476 191775 or drop the details through the form. We come back to you with a price, not a runaround.
What we fix
Any make. Any model. Any damage.
Cars, vans and light commercials. Everyday runarounds, fleet vehicles and the occasional weekend motor. Every job is finished to factory standard and handed back without surprises.
Accident and crash repair
Bodywork and panel repair on any make or model, put back to the standard the factory set.
Ask about thisDents and scratches
Doors, wings, bonnets and bumpers straightened and repainted so you would not know they were ever knocked.
Ask about thisInsurance work
We carry out the repair on a claim basis and sort the paperwork your insurer needs. You pick the repairer, not them.
Ask about thisBuffs and polish
Swirl marks, oxidation and light scratches machine-polished out to bring the paint back to showroom-sharp.
Ask about thisAlloy wheel refurbishment
Kerbed, chipped or corroded alloys stripped, repaired, refinished and lacquered, one or four at a time.
Ask about thisBody and mechanical work
Bodywork and the mechanical bits that go with it, so the car does not bounce between two garages to get put right.
Ask about thisWhy the finish lasts
Three things a chain bodyshop can’t do for you.
We’re a small workshop, and that’s the whole point. The time your car needs is the time your car gets, not what a head-office spreadsheet says it’s allowed.
Paint matched to your factory colour. Not close enough.
We match paint to your car’s factory colour code, not a cheap close-match tin. On metallics, pearls and three-stage finishes we blend the lacquer across the next panel along so the sprayed area fades into the rest of the car. No faded wings two years down the line.
The same hands on your car from start to finish.
Insurance-approved chains split the job across three or four sets of hands. At Haque the same team strips the panels, sorts the hidden damage and sees the job through. If something’s not right, you ring the workshop and speak to the person who did the work.
Twenty years of repeat customers across East London.
Most of the cars that come through the workshop come from word of mouth. Someone’s neighbour, someone’s cousin, someone’s mate down the road. That’s the only reason a small shop in E1 ends up with 109 five-star Google reviews and counting.
Recent jobs
Real damage. Real repairs.
A handful of recent cars through the Lukin Street workshop. Every job comes with before-and-after photos, so you can see exactly what was knocked about and exactly what went back together.
Paintwork brought back to factory colour. Colour code matched, panels blended, lacquer baked and polished to a proper finish.
What drivers say
Two decades of word of mouth across East London.
It’s my first time using this service as I have been in a small accident. My car was taken in the next day and took a whole day for it to be completed which I believe is very quick. The quality of the work is phenomenal, it’s as if the damage never happened. They explain each step of process how the work was done. Also for the price it was very reasonable. I’m really impressed and would highly recommend others to give this garage a try.

Before you pick up the phone
The questions drivers ask before booking.
Straight answers to the six questions that come up most on the first phone call. If yours isn’t here, give the workshop a ring and we’ll talk it through.
No. You’ve got the legal right to pick your own repairer and most UK policies back that up. Ring us first, tell your insurer you want the car repaired at Haque, and we’ll take it from there. Your no-claims and excess stay the same.
Depends on the damage and how quickly the parts get to us. We give you an honest timeline before the car comes in, and we keep you posted if anything changes along the way.
Yes. We match paint to your car’s factory colour and blend the lacquer across the next panel along so the repair fades in properly. Metallics, pearls and two- or three-stage finishes are all fine.
Every day. Transits, Sprinters, Vivaros, tippers, crew cabs. We also do fleet work for local trades and small businesses.
A workmanship and paintwork guarantee. If anything we’ve done fails, bring the car back and we’ll put it right.
The workshop is at Arch 172 Lukin Street, London E1 0BN, just off Commercial Road in Stepney. We take work from across Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Wapping, Shoreditch, the City, Hackney, Bow and wider East London.
