At a recent Hot Stories networking event, we had the pleasure of hearing from Neil of Cooper Barnes Automotive, a Cambridge-based accident repair centre and service garage with a standout reputation for honesty, quality, and real care.

Neil shared updates on the business’s newly installed servicing ramps, including a special flat ramp designed for low-slung sports cars and body kits — no more bumper crunching on traditional angled ramps!
He also highlighted the garage’s ability to carry out ADAS calibration — crucial for today’s vehicles equipped with cameras and sensors that support driver assistance systems. These tech features need recalibrating after accidents, or they could fail to warn you in critical moments.
In addition to accident repairs, Cooper Barnes now offers fully transparent servicing. Instead of selling unnecessary add-ons, they stick to what your vehicle manufacturer actually recommends based on age and mileage.
And Neil doesn't just talk the talk — he shared a brilliant real-world example involving Alison (a fellow Hot Stories attendee). After struggling with her insurer to get her Mini repaired, Neil stepped in and had it sorted, charged, and returned in days.
If you're after a trusted local garage that puts your safety and your budget first, Cooper Barnes Automotive is your go-to in Cambridge.
