Our Story – How CarVanBits Began
The story of CarVanBits began in 2019. At the time, we were running a fleet of 30 Volkswagen LT vans. These vehicles were incredibly reliable. However, they all shared one common problem: rust.
Every year, as MOT time approached, we faced the same challenge. Traditional repairs often relied on body filler, which only offered a temporary fix before the rust returned.
Determined to find a longer-lasting solution, we discovered high-quality replacement repair panels available across Europe. Unlike filler, these galvanised steel panels could be welded directly into place. Consequently, they provided a much more durable and professional repair.
We initially sourced these panels purely for our own fleet. Soon, however, we realised that van owners, garages and businesses across the UK faced exactly the same problem. We began supplying panels to other customers, at first storing and dispatching orders from home.
As demand grew, CarVanBits Ltd was officially established in 2022, together with our first dedicated warehouse. Since then, we have invested in additional warehouse space, increased our stock levels and continued to expand our range. Throughout, our mission has stayed the same: to make reliable, long-lasting rust repairs more accessible and affordable.
Specialists In Galvanised Repair Panels
Our core expertise is in high-quality galvanised repair panels. These panels are designed to outlast standard alternatives, offering significantly improved resistance to corrosion and long-term durability. This makes them the ideal choice for both professional bodyshop repairs and home vehicle projects where longevity matters.
Because we specialise in repair panels, we focus on the practical needs of real repairs: accurate fitment, strong materials and dependable performance. In addition, where available, we offer a choice of steel thicknesses, such as 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm. As a result, customers can select the most suitable option for their repair and budget.
A Comprehensive & Growing Range
We currently stock over 5,000 different repair panel types, covering a huge range of older and modern cars, vans and commercial vehicles. From sills and wheel arches to doors, wings, bonnets and boots, our online catalogue is designed to help you quickly find the correct part for your vehicle.
Furthermore, we specialise in hard-to-find repair panels. In fact, we stock many panels that customers simply won’t find through other UK suppliers. We know how frustrating it is when a perfectly repairable vehicle risks being scrapped because a panel is unavailable. That’s why we keep searching for new products and expanding our supplier network.
All advertised stock is held in our own UK warehouses. We typically hold between 10 and 400 units of each product, depending on demand. Consequently, we can dispatch orders quickly without the long waits often associated with sourcing parts from overseas.
Our shop by make and model approach allows customers to filter efficiently and order with confidence. If you are unsure which product you need, our team is always available to offer honest guidance and support.
Quality Parts For Leading Vehicle Brands
We supply repair panels and accessories for many of the most popular vehicle manufacturers, ensuring compatibility and a precise fit. Our products are selected to provide reliable quality, excellent durability, competitive pricing and accurate vehicle fitment.
Unlike businesses that rely on third-party fulfilment, we manage our own stock, quality checks, packing and dispatch. Every order is carefully checked before it leaves our premises. Whether you are carrying out a small repair or a larger restoration, you can source everything you need in one place.
Fast & Reliable Delivery
We know that vehicle projects often work to tight schedules. That’s why we offer next-day delivery to UK mainland customers on eligible orders placed before our 11:30 am cut-off. International delivery is also available to Europe and the rest of the world.
Orders over £100 qualify for free UK mainland delivery. Meanwhile, body panels need extra care in transit, so every order is securely packed using double-layer cardboard. We also work with established UK couriers, including APC, DHL and UPS, to deliver reliably across the country.
For customers who prefer to collect, we offer in-person collection from our premises in Exeter. Our location at Unit 1D, Mill Park Industrial Estate, Exeter allows us to process and dispatch orders efficiently while supporting customers locally and nationwide.
A Knowledgeable & Supportive Team
We believe that good service is just as important as good parts. Our experienced team is always happy to help you identify the correct repair panel, check vehicle compatibility and understand your delivery options.
Good communication makes all the difference. Therefore, we aim to respond to every customer email within 24 hours during the working week. Every customer also receives a VAT invoice by email, and we normally include a printed copy in the parcel too.
If you know exactly what you need, you can order online quickly and easily. If you need support, we are only a phone call away.
Built Around Real Repair Projects
Everything we do is focused on making vehicle repairs easier. We proudly supply a growing network of trade customers across the UK, including bodyshops, garages and restoration specialists. Alongside them, thousands of private customers use our panels on their own vehicles.
As an independent business, we listen to our customers and continually improve the way we work. Many of our decisions, from expanding our range to improving our packaging, are driven by real customer needs. Moreover, one of the most rewarding parts of our work is receiving photos of completed repairs and restorations from our customers.
We work hard throughout the week to process orders quickly, because we know your project can’t wait.
