Aluminium Repair Expertise
Our body technicians are trained in aluminium riveting and bonding. They use dedicated tools in a separate area to avoid contamination, protecting the structure and preventing corrosion after repair.
Our Land Rover body specialists have repaired aluminium Range Rover bodies after everything from car park scrapes to major collisions. Each repair is measured, matched and finished with the patience and pride we would give our own car.
Aluminium, not steel
A dent on a vehicle may look like a dent on any other SUV. Underneath, it is very different. Most Range Rovers are built around aluminium bodies joined by rivets and structural adhesive rather than traditional welds. A general garage that treats aluminium like steel can weaken the structure, cause corrosion and leave panel gaps that never look right.
When the fourth-generation Range Rover arrived, it became the world’s first SUV with an all-aluminium monocoque body. Its body shell was 39% lighter than the steel one it replaced, cutting up to 420 kg from the vehicle. That design makes the car lighter, stronger and more efficient. It also demands specialist tools, clean working areas and trained technicians whenever the body is damaged.
Our body shop in Dubai is set up for exactly that work. We repair the structure first, then the panels, then the paint. Every safety system is checked and calibrated before the car leaves. The result looks right, drives right and protects you exactly as Land Rover intended.

Book body inspectionBody by generation
Vehicle body structures differ by generation, and each requires the correct repair method.
| Model | Body Construction | What It Means for Repairs |
|---|---|---|
| Range Rover (L405) | All-aluminium monocoque | Riveting and bonding, no conventional welding |
| Range Rover Sport (L494) | Aluminium-intensive body | Aluminium repair tools and methods |
| Range Rover Velar (L560) | Aluminium-intensive body | Lightweight panels need careful dent work |
| Range Rover (L460) and Sport (L461) | Mixed-metal MLA-Flex platform | Aluminium and steel repaired with separate methods |
| Evoque and Discovery Sport | Steel body with aluminium panels | Mixed repair techniques |
Aluminium behaves differently from steel. It does not have the same “memory,” so it can crack if forced back into shape. It conducts heat quickly and weakens if overheated. Contact with steel dust or tools can also cause galvanic corrosion months after a repair. That is why we use dedicated aluminium tools and a separate clean repair area.
Modern vehicles also carry cameras, radar and sensors in bumpers, mirrors and windscreens. Even a minor knock can move them out of alignment. Industry data shows ADAS calibrations appeared on 34.7% of repair estimates in 2025, up from 12.1% in 2022. Yet research suggests more than 60% of qualifying repairs may actually need calibration, meaning many cars leave body shops without it.

From minor impacts to major collisions, we repair the full extent of the damage. Every job starts with a pre-repair diagnostic scan and a detailed damage assessment. We restore structure, panels, paint and electronics so the car returns to its pre-accident condition.
Aluminium panels need specialist tools, controlled heat and a contamination-free area. We repair with rivets and structural adhesives following Land Rover methods. This protects the body’s strength, crash performance and long-term resistance to corrosion.
Vehicles use a monocoque body rather than a separate frame, so structural damage affects the whole shell. We measure the body on a precision jig against factory data. Bent sections are pulled back to specification or replaced where repair is not safe.
Off-road rocks, kerbs and speed bumps can damage sills, floor pans and underbody protection. We inspect the full underside, repair or replace damaged sections and restore corrosion protection. Air suspension parts nearby are checked for hidden damage too.
Cameras, radar and parking sensors must point exactly where Land Rover designed them. After a body repair, we calibrate adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, emergency braking and 360-degree cameras. Each system is tested to confirm it works correctly.
Bumpers take most car park scrapes and low-speed knocks. We repair cracks, scuffs and broken mounting tabs, or replace the bumper when needed. Parking sensors and radar units are refitted carefully and checked to work properly.
Small dents and hail damage can often be removed without repainting. Our technicians massage the metal back into shape from behind the panel. This keeps the original factory paint, saves time and costs less than conventional repair.
Door dents, creases and misalignment affect looks, sealing and wind noise. We repair the outer skin, realign hinges and check window and lock mechanisms. Doors close smoothly and sit flush with the body once the work is complete.
Front and rear fenders are often damaged in side impacts and parking incidents. We repair or replace the fender and blend the paint into nearby panels. Wheel arch liners, sensors and trim are refitted to factory standard.
Some panels can be repaired, while others must be replaced to restore safety and finish. We assess each panel honestly and recommend the right option. Replacement panels are fitted, aligned and finished to match the rest of the car.
We support you through the insurance process from inspection to collection. Our team prepares detailed estimates with photos for your insurer. We work with your claim documents and keep you updated until the repair is complete.
The right method
Not every dent needs filler and fresh paint. The right dent repair method depends on the size, depth and location of the damage.
| Damage Type | Best Method | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small round dent, paint intact | Paintless dent repair | Keeps factory paint, fastest option |
| Hail damage | Paintless dent repair | Removes multiple dents without repainting |
| Sharp crease, paint intact | PDR or conventional repair | Depends on depth and panel access |
| Dent with cracked or chipped paint | Conventional repair and paint | Paint must be restored to prevent corrosion |
| Dent on a body line or edge | Conventional repair | PDR has limited reach on edges |
| Large or structural damage | Panel repair or replacement | Strength and safety come first |
Aluminium panels are less forgiving than steel, so paintless dent repair on a Range Rover needs experienced hands. We assess each dent in person before recommending a method.
Step by step
A clear process after an accident makes your insurance claim and repair much smoother.
Move the vehicles to a safe spot if no one is injured and the cars can be driven.
Report minor accidents through the Dubai Police app, which issues a police report you can present to insurers.
Call 999 if anyone is injured or the vehicles cannot be moved.
Photograph the damage, the scene and the other vehicle’s details.
Contact your insurer to open a claim.
Book a body inspection with us so we can prepare a detailed estimate for your insurer.
Insurers in the UAE generally require a police report before approving a repair. If your policy includes agency repair, check its terms on approved independent workshops before booking.
How it works
We inspect the visible and hidden damage, then run a full diagnostic scan. This records any fault codes from sensors, airbags and safety systems, giving a complete picture before any work begins on the car.
You receive an itemised estimate with photos of every damaged area. For insurance claims, we share it directly with your insurer. No repair starts until you or your insurer approve the full plan.
Structural damage is measured on a precision jig and repaired using Land Rover methods. Aluminium sections are riveted and bonded in a clean area. Body dimensions are checked again before moving on.
Panels are repaired or replaced, then aligned for even gaps. Paint is computer-matched to your colour code and applied in a controlled booth. The new finish is blended so it matches the panels around it.
Cameras, radar and sensors are calibrated to Land Rover specifications. A post-repair scan confirms no faults remain. We then road test the car to check that safety systems and handling work correctly.
A final inspection checks panel gaps, paint finish and electrical functions under bright lights. The car is cleaned before collection. You receive a written report of the work and your repair warranty details.
The difference
Our body technicians are trained in aluminium riveting and bonding. They use dedicated tools in a separate area to avoid contamination, protecting the structure and preventing corrosion after repair.
We fix the body structure first, then panels and paint. Measurements on a precision jig confirm every dimension, so the car is safe and not just good-looking after the repair.
Every repair that affects sensors or cameras includes calibration. We test each safety system before handover, so emergency braking, lane keeping and adaptive cruise work as intended.
We prepare detailed, photo-backed estimates that insurers can approve quickly. Our team handles communication with your insurer and keeps you updated until your vehicle is ready.
Our body and paint work comes with a written warranty. If a covered issue appears, we put it right, giving you confidence in the finish long after collection.

Edges and body lines take more work
Aluminium repair needs special tools and methods
Some panels must be replaced for safety
Bumpers with radar need calibration
Metallic and special finishes cost more to match
Jig measurement and pulling add labour
Early repair often costs less. Small paint chips can let corrosion start, and minor dents can become harder to fix if left. Paint work is completed alongside our paint and refinish service, and any impact near the wheels is followed by a wheel alignment check before handover.
Answers

Yes, aluminium bodies can be repaired with the right tools and methods. Aluminium needs controlled heat, rivets and structural adhesives rather than conventional welding. We use dedicated aluminium equipment in a separate area to protect the structure and prevent corrosion.
Yes, we support insurance claims from inspection to collection. We prepare detailed estimates with photos for your insurer and keep you updated throughout. You will need a police report, which is required by insurers in the UAE before most repairs.
Yes, when done by experienced technicians. Paintless dent repair keeps the factory paint and suits small dents and hail damage. Aluminium panels need extra care, so we assess every dent in person before recommending this method over conventional repair.
Cameras and radar sit in bumpers, mirrors and windscreens. Even small impacts can shift their alignment. Without calibration, systems like emergency braking and lane keeping may not work correctly. We calibrate and test every affected system before handing back the car.
Small dents and bumper repairs often take one to two days. Larger collision repairs depend on parts supply, structural work and insurer approval. We confirm the expected timeline in your estimate and update you if anything changes during the repair.
Yes, we match paint using your Land Rover colour code and computerised mixing. The new finish is blended into nearby panels so the colour looks even in different light. Every panel is checked under inspection lamps before your car is returned.
Yes, we repair sills, floor pans and underbody protection damaged by rocks or kerbs. Each repair includes restored corrosion protection. We also check nearby air suspension parts and lines, since underbody impacts can cause hidden damage there as well.
Yes, report it through the Dubai Police app or a police station first. Insurers need the police report to process your claim. Reporting promptly also protects you if the other driver later disputes what happened or the damage turns out to be worse.
