From Technician to Owner

Rob Davis isn’t just the current proprietor—he’s part of the Smart Carz story. Having spent over three years working alongside Darren Dalwood, the founder and previous owner (a former Global Head Trainer for BASF), Rob absorbed not only the technical mastery but also the ethos of exceptional customer service that defined the business.  In 2024, Rob took the helm, purchasing Smart Carz from Darren and stepping into a leadership role built on experience and respect.

Elevating the Standard

Under Rob’s leadership, Smart Carz has raised the bar even higher. Customers consistently praise his commitment to delivering quality work—finished on time, every time—with friendly professionalism and meticulous attention to detail.

Comprehensive Services—Workshop or Mobile

Smart Carz offers a full suite of repair solutions, all backed by professional guarantees and flexible service options:

• SMART Repairs (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology): Efficient, cost-effective fixes for minor damage, including alloy wheel refurbishment, bumper scuffs, paint chips, dashboard and seat issues, and headlight restoration.
• Full Bodyshop Capabilities: For more involved bodywork—accident repair, respraying, custom paint jobs, complete restoration—whether clients visit the Chard workshop or opt for on-site servicing.
• Additional Specialties: Repairs cover a comprehensive range—from windscreen mending and leather or vinyl restoration to custom paint finishes and plastic body trims.

Community Recognition & Reputation

Smart Carz enjoys glowing reviews online. On TheBestOf Taunton and Bridgwater, it holds a perfect 5.0 rating based on 18 reviews, celebrated for its exceptional customer service and meticulous workmanship under Rob’s guidance. Business directories like Birdeye rate it 4.4 stars from 22 reviews, highlighting both praise and constructive feedback—important for ongoing growth.

Why Smart Carz Stands Out

• Local Roots: Deeply embedded in the Chard community, this is a business run by someone who knows the neighbourhood.
• Expertise & Trust: With Darren’s legacy and Rob’s continued stewardship, Smart Carz confidently bridges technical excellence with personable service.
• Flexibility: Whether in-shop or on-location, they cater to every client's preference.
• Unwavering Quality: Every repair prioritises a pristine finish—every detail matters.

Rob’s vision for Smart Carz is simple yet compelling: deliver bodyshop excellence with a local-friendly touch. His deep knowledge—gained from years of experience — combined with his commitment to quality, positions Smart Carz as both a community pillar and a go-to for exceptional vehicle repairs.

Smart Carz Body Repairs is more than just a bodyshop—it’s a legacy reshaped by Rob Davis's leadership. With unmatched workmanship, genuine customer care, and flexible service offerings, it remains Chard's signature destination for car body repair and SMART Repair expertise.
