Lloyds Autobody Manchester, based in Wythenshawe and serving Cheshire and the rest of the North West was established in August 2000 and has since grown to become Manchester’s premier manufacturer approved accident repair centre.

Sports, Performance and Luxury Car Body Repairs in Manchester

Since 1987, Lloyds Autobody has received Manufacturer Approvals for several prestige brands. In 1999, after 10 years as a Porsche approved repairer and following on from being awarded the Porsche body shop of the year award in 1998, Porsche requested that Lloyds Autobody opened a branch in Manchester to serve its customer base in that area.

In 2000, Lloyds Autobody Manchester opened its doors for business and since then our dedication to quality and service has been recognised, such that we have been awarded manufacturer approvals for several other prestige and performance car manufacturers including Rolls Royce, Bentley and McLaren. 

Equipped with the latest technology and factory trained technicians, we process accident repairs for all leading insurance and vehicle management companies, specialising in accident repairs and modifications for most prestige vehicle manufacturers. We are proud to maintain a close working partnership with our main dealership network which include Bentley, Rolls Royce and McLaren Manchester dealerships for the Sytner Group. 

The team is led by Branch Manager Roy Hartwell, who has been based at our Manchester Branch since it opened in 2000. Roy has over 30 years’ experience in the industry working with such iconic brands as Rolls Royce, McLaren, Porsche, Aston Martin, Lagonda, Ferrari and Bentley. Roy has an unrivalled reputation for being at the very top of his game and the relationship Roy has developed with key players in the industry has been a huge factor in the success of our Manchester Branch.

After qualifying as a paint sprayer and panel beater with both Vauxhall and Ford main dealerships, Ged only ever had one intention and that was to start his own business where he could specialise in what was quickly becoming his passion – the performance and prestige car market.

In his spare time, Ged pursued his interest in prestige and performance motor vehicle restoration and repair focusing on E-Type Jaguars and other similar marques. After building up an impressive portfolio and at the age of 22, Ged decided to take the plunge and opened his first premises specialising in repairing and modifying prestige and performance cars.

Open For Business

In 1983 the business had already outgrown the current premises and after pursuing several options Ged decided to take up an offer to enter in to a partnership with an existing company with larger premises. In 1987 after a further period of growth, Ged was now in a position to buy out his partner and take sole responsibility for the company.

Rebranding from Lloyds to Lloyds Autobody, Ged then set about achieving his dream of gaining approvals from the leading manufacturers. In the same year, Lloyds Autobody received their first approval from SAAB quickly followed by Porsche then Mercedes. Once again Ged soon realised that he was outgrowing his current premises so set about locating a plot and designing and building the current site in Liverpool. In 1995, during our high profile opening ceremony, the formula one racing driver Jonathan Palmer cut the ribbon in style and we were officially open for business.

In 1998, Lloyds Autobody achieved Porsche's Body Shop of the Year award, and in 1999 Ged achieved a fellowship in IMI for commitment to quality and service to the motor trade.

Following on from the success of the award in 1998, Porsche requested that Lloyds Autobody open a branch in Manchester to serve its customer base in that area, and still today we provide the North West's best service for approved Porsche repairs. In 2000, Lloyds Autobody Manchester opened its doors for business and since then has secured manufacturer approvals for several other prestige and performance car manufacturers including Rolls Royce, Bentley, Tesla, McLaren, Aston Martin and Ferrari.

The Lloyds Autobody Team

Over the last 30 years, the Lloyds Autobody team has grown from strength to strength. Ged is a man that leads by example, he has a remarkable ability to see potential in people, identify and develop their skills, and lead them to achieve their highest possible standards of workmanship. This philosophy is echoed throughout the company and has helped Lloyds Autobody achieve one of the most experienced and skilled workforces the industry has to offer. 

As a manufacturer approved repairer, Lloyds Autobody is continually investing in their team to the required levels set by them, all employees are trained on a regular basis, from administration to technicians.
