Passion for Cars, Excellence in Craftsmanship
At Triple R Automotive, we’re driven by a shared passion for cars and a commitment to delivering high-quality body repairs, restorations, and resprays for vehicles of all types. Based next to the world-famous Santa Pod Raceway in Podington, Northamptonshire, we specialise in working with modern classics, race cars, and retro vehicles, helping owners restore their prized cars to their former glory.
Our Journey: From SMART Repairs to Motorsport Expertise
Founded in 2001 as Trim N Paint Solutions, we initially focused on small to medium area repairs (SMART repairs). Over time, we saw the need for higher-end services and transitioned to providing larger-scale body repairs, resprays, and restorations. In 2015, we rebranded to Triple R Automotive, moving our operations to a state-of-the-art workshop at Santa Pod Raceway. This move marked a new chapter, allowing us to specialise in motorsport vehicles, including historic race cars, dragsters, and modern classic cars.
Today, we offer comprehensive services for a wide range of vehicles, from fibreglass repairs and restorations to custom resprays and paintwork. Whether you're a motorsport team, a car enthusiast, or someone looking to restore a Ford Sierra or VW Golf, we’ve got the skills and expertise to bring your vision to life.
