Newcastle based bodyshop, Carr and Earl, is now Bentley approved after a £1 million investment.

The Barrack Road site is one of 10 bosyhops in the UK to be approved by Bentley.

Kevin Richardson, Carl and Earl manager, said: “People like to deal with people they know and we now provide a comprehensive BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mini and Bentley experience in the context of a family run business.

“Our ambition is to work with Bentley Newcastle and create absolute customer delight and care for their cars and I believe that Bentley Newcastle and Carr and Earl have the right teams to do it.”

Richardson believes the £1m investment in areas of the business like preparation, finishing, cosmetic repairs, workshop standards, staff expertise and customer satisfaction helped to gain manufacturer approval.
