About Skinnys Autos

Skinny's Auto's is a one man band run by 'Skinny' (Aka Dave), I'm based in the Coventry area in the heart of the country, and passionate about keeping old things running, and mending things that are broken!

I love classic cars, camper vans, old bangers and anything cool that you can camp in.

This is a semi-retirement project, I'm friendly, and if I can help, or point you in the right direction I will. 

I'm happy to work around you and have time on my hands. 

If you're nearby, I'll even come to you if your car isn't working!

Let's get more cooler, individual classics and campers on the road, who wants to drive a bland modern 'template' car.

I'd even argue that keeping an old car running is more environmentally friendly than scrapping it, and all the resources that go into producing a new car, especially while prices are currently so high. Having said that, I'll mend anything, so please, don't worry it doesn't have to be an old car, most of my work is modern vehicles. Give me a shout and lets see if I can help!

At Skinny's Auto's, I offer a wide range of services to keep your vehicle running.

I'm based in Coventry, and I'm happy to discuss anything you need a hand with. 

My passion is bodywork, I have access to a full paint booth and can offer anything from a custom paint job, whether that's a full car or a custom bike tank. Equally, I'm just as happy sorting out a small bumper scuff for you.

As well as bodywork I have full dealer level diagnostics equipment. If you've got a warning light on and a dealer wants a fortune give me a call and we can plug it in and see what the issue is. If you're in Coventry and I'm passing I'll even come to you.

I can mend most mechanical issues, with a passion for keeping older cars running, so if you've got a problem lets see if its worth the cost of repair, its not a problem.

I also offer the new Paintless dent repair (PDR) techniques, most small dinks and dents can be repaired without needing new paint, to the point where you wouldn't know they had happened. I can usually do this mobile if it helps you.

Finally, if you want to learn, come and have a go at servicing your car, or changing the brakes, or events simple as changing a bulb with me helping you, even if it's a weekend or evening.

There's no team here, just me, but the website template doesn't understand that!

Skinny's Auto's is just me, 'Skinny'.

I'm semi-retired, so bear with me if it's a sunny day, or the cricket or football is on, but otherwise, if I can help keep an old car on the road I will. 

Get in touch and let's see what the problem is and whether I can help, whether that's mending a dink or a dent, a simple warning light on your dashboard, or keeping an old car for the school run on the road. All the way up to bringing back to life your old classic car or camper van that's lurking in your garage.

I can sort most things, mechanical, welding, electrical, or any bodywork or paintwork that needs doing. If in doubt, give me a shout and we can take it from there.
