Leading Bodywork and Alloy wheel repairer comes to Taunton
September 02, 2025
Revive!, the UK’s leading mobile provider of minor paint and bodywork repairs for vehicles and alloy wheels, has opened for business in the southwest offering top-quality services to car dealerships and private motorists throughout the Taunton and Bridgewater area.
Revive! opens an exciting new franchise in the Taunton area to expand on its rapidly growing SMART Repair network
The Revive! Taunton & Bridgewater franchise will provide increased coverage of the UK with both retail and commercial volume at an all-time high
Specially trained technicians perform SMART repair services on consumers driveways, providing much needed mobile body shop support for customers
The business only uses highly skilled technicians to carry out quality, cost effective repairs at a time and place to suit customers. Repairs usually cost far less than the average insurance policy excess without the hassle of taking your vehicle to the body shop, sorting out lifts or arranging a courtesy car.
Revive! Taunton & Bridgewater Owner, Adam Rap has high ambitions for the business. He explained: “Our aim is to establish Revive! as the number one vehicle bodywork repairer in the area. Revive! has the UK’s largest accredited network of repairers and the brand name is synonymous with quality and a high level of customer service.
We’re excited to be bringing Revive! to the southwest. There’s a great demand for top quality paintwork repairs and we’re going to meet that need by delivering a fast, efficient and professional service. We’ve already started working with some of the prestigious local dealerships and look forward to meeting more new customers as news of our arrival spreads.”
Revive! works with car dealerships, fleet and lease companies, insurance companies and the public. All work carries a lifetime ownership of the vehicle guarantee.
A Watford resident’s decision to buy his own vehicle repair franchise after growing disillusioned with his corporate job has paid dividends, owing to a coveted business award nomination and chalking up impressive financial returns.
Kyle Thorburn, new owner of Revive! Slough is no stranger to franchising. He and his wife Joanne were top five franchisees in South Africa for a leading travel brand.
