Broken Cars, Honest Fixes: Neil from Cooper Barnes Automotive | Hot Stories Cambridge

Broken Cars, Honest Fixes: Neil from Cooper Barnes Automotive | Hot Stories Cambridge

At Hot Stories Cambridge, Neil from Cooper Barnes Automotive delivered one of the most practical—and entertaining—talks of the day. With wit, wisdom, and zero BS, he walked us through how his business helps take the stress out of stressful situations.

“I’m a distressed purchase. No one wants to see me—but when they do, I make the problem go away.”

Neil Hamilton-Meikle

From major accident repairs to minor scrapes, Neil and his team specialise in restoring cars to showroom condition, managing insurance claims, and keeping customers mobile when insurers try to cut corners.


🚗 What Cooper Barnes Automotive Offers:

✅ Accident Repair & Insurance Support

  • From dents to full-on crashes

  • Full insurance claim management

  • Courtesy car fleet—even if you didn’t tick the box

✨ Detailing & Ceramic Coating

  • Paint correction + hydrophobic carbon ceramic finish

  • Helps prevent UV damage, dirt build-up & fading

  • Starts from £500—no longer just for Ferraris

“If you remember buying Rain-X in the 90s, imagine that—but for your entire car.”

🛠️ Servicing, MOTs & Repairs

  • Weird noises? Don’t just turn up Ken Bruce—get it checked early!

  • Early intervention = cheaper fix


🛞 Tyres, Alignment & ADAS Calibration

  • Pothole damage = hidden danger

  • Uneven tyre wear can lead to serious accidents

  • ADAS (driver assist tech) must be reset correctly or it can cause liability issues


“People rely on their cars to do the driving. If your tech isn’t calibrated, it could fail when you need it most.”
