Welcome to Lothian Bodyshop, the premier independent car body and accident repair centre serving motorists across West Lothian. Founded on a passion for automotive excellence and a commitment to flawless craftsmanship, our family-owned and operated workshop in Whitburn has built a reputation for reliability, structural safety, and fine paint refinishing. Whether you require minor cosmetic scratch removal or major post-collision structural restoration, we treat every vehicle with individual care, serving communities across Livingston, Bathgate, Broxburn, Linlithgow, and West Calder.

Family-Owned Vehicle Body Shop with 60 Years of Motor Trade Experience

What truly sets Lothian Bodyshop apart is our deep automotive heritage and mechanical expertise. Our dedicated team consists of genuine car enthusiasts who bring a combined 60 years of hands-on experience in the professional motor trade. Over the decades, we have witnessed vehicle technologies evolve dramatically, and we continually adapt our repair strategies to keep pace. This vast industry knowledge allows us to accurately diagnose both hidden chassis misalignments and complex multi-stage factory paint codes, delivering repairs that consistently exceed dealership standards.

Our Core Business Values: Committed to Automotive Excellence

Meticulous Pride in Every Finished Job

We do not believe in rushing vehicles through an assembly line to cut operational costs. We take immense personal pride in the fine details of panel beating, precision welding, and flawless clear-coat application. This uncompromising focus ensures that your vehicle is returned to you in showroom condition, protecting its long-term resale value.

A Customer-First Approach Driven by Five-Star Reviews

Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident is highly stressful, which is why we prioritize transparent communication and honest, friendly advice. Our independent model means we answer directly to you, not a corporate insurance network. This dedication shows in the exceptional feedback and positive reviews we regularly receive from local West Lothian drivers.

Factory Safety and Structural Integrity

Your family’s safety on the road depends entirely on the structural integrity of your vehicle’s crumple zones and panel seams. We strictly adhere to manufacturer repair methodologies and use advanced equipment to ensure all structural work meets rigid safety criteria before your car or commercial van leaves our workshop.

State-of-the-Art Repair Facility in Whitburn

Operating from our fully equipped, secure premises at Burnhouse Industrial Estate in Whitburn, we invest heavily in high-end automotive technology. Our facility features computerized color-matching software, precision frame-pulling alignment systems, and pristine, temperature-controlled low-bake spray ovens. This clean-room baking environment allows us to deeply cure premium automotive primers, paints, and lacquers, delivering a tough, mirror-like factory finish that perfectly resists chipping, weathering, and paint peeling over time.

Specializing in Non-Fault Accident Management

In addition to general bodywork, we are recognized as West Lothian’s leading non-fault accident specialists. If you are involved in a vehicle collision that wasn’t your fault, you have the absolute legal right to choose your own independent repairer rather than being forced into your insurer’s cheap contract options. We manage the entire administrative claim cycle for you, provide a free like-for-like courtesy car to preserve your mobility, safeguard your No-Claims Bonus, and ensure you pay absolutely zero upfront policy excess fees.
