Written by the company

We make cars like new again. New Again is an auto reconditioning and repair workshop in Chelmsford, Essex, established in 1987. The idea behind the business is a simple one: the best car for you is often the one already sitting on your driveway. Reconditioning it costs a fraction of replacing it, and you get back a car that looks and feels the way it did when you first drove it. Most of what we do is repair and restoration rather than cleaning. Smart repair covers scratch removal, stone chip repair, paintless dent removal and alloy wheel refurbishment; bodywork faults corrected without a full respray or a bodyshop bill. Leather and upholstery restoration brings worn, cracked and faded seats back instead of replacing them. Paint correction and ceramic coating deal with the finish itself: swirl marks, dull paint, and protection that lasts. Car detailing in Chelmsford is part of the range as well, though for us it is usually the last stage of a reconditioning job rather than the job itself. We also take on work a lot of workshops turn away. Car water leak detection is a specialism of ours; finding where the water actually gets in, drying the carpets properly, and clearing the smell that follows. Convertible roof cleaning, weatherproofing and rear window rebonding keep soft tops in service rather than replaced. End-of-lease inspection and preparation helps drivers hand a car back without unexpected recharges. All of it happens in our own fully equipped workshop, done by our own team. Nearly forty years on, the job has not changed: making cars new again.

New Again

My Ford Fusion is now eleven years old and was badly in need of an interior clean. I was recommended to use New Again who on dropping in to book I found to be courteous
and competent offering me an immediate service as they had had a no show. Today I collected my car and was impressed with the result and found they had gone beyond the agreed work at no extra cost.

Had water leak ingress in my 2007 Audi A4

Took my car in last week to New Again as I had found out about them and their water leaks expertise via some Google searching. The whole process was very professional, from the initial phone consultation questions to the actual diagnostics and repair of the water leak. They even sent me a video after the initial appraisal and at the completion of the work. Both Gary and James were very friendly, and James even recommended a lovely café across the road from them where I bought a very nice breakfast!

Had a Problem with my soft roof top it was dirty and it had been re-dyed leaving patches which just looked awful. I could not find anyone that I trusted to fix it until I came across New Again on the website.They looked very sincere and I thought I'll give them a go. At first i was not happy with the result, I had a chat with Gary the owner and he soon fixed the problem with no hesitation. I also met Conner who looked after me and worked hard to wash all the dirt and dye off . Conner managed to clean it and reproof it..He gave me the best job that he can deliver. My sad soft roof top looks a lot better and I would recommend anyone wanting their car to look good again look no further. Just give New Again a call and they'll fix it for you. Thanks again to the New Again Team and good luck.

Thanks for repairing the water leak on my Silver Ford Focus During the Christmas Holidays. There has been some downpours of rain and the car is still dry. I Will definitely travel from Wolverhampton again if I have any leaks in my car.

Mercedes ML Water leaking into car

My 2011 M class has suffered from condensation forming on the windscreen for years and this year I decided to get it looked at.I found new again through a web search and arranged to take the car into them to try and find out where the water was getting into the car.My car as I probably expected wasn’t an easy fix!I found New Again’s approach to finding where the water was getting in(multiple places in my case) transparent, thorough and they kept me informed of their progress, although hindered by chasing Mercedes for parts.It was not a cheap fix in my case but it was money well spent as this winter as yet I have not needed to scrape the inside of my windscreen nor has it needed wiping over every morning. I would totally recommend New Again to anyone who needs a water leak sorting out but beware you could be opening up a huge can of worms on the way!! 10 out of 10 guys huge thank you!!

Excellent service

Just bought a 65 plate Audi A5 Cabriolet and the hood was looking a bit scruffy. Brought it to New Again and they cleaned and nano protected it .. I’m very pleased with the result and will definitely be using their services again.
All the people who I spoke to were very knowledgeable and happy to provide advise ..would definitely recommend.

Had a water leak in my Astra and mould had started to grow. Had to drive over an hour to get to New Again, but it was worth it! They did a thorough inspection and sent a video to me highlighting all the leaks (there were several) with an invoice of recommended work. They fixed all the leaks and dried the car, the work was completed promptly and professionally with a full written report. I have had my car back for a week and checked all the areas that were leaking after two rainfalls and so far my car has remained dry. I would recommend them if you want your car leaks fixed as they know their stuff.

Problems solved

Someone threw a plastic bottle with water inside at my car when I was driving - result scuffs and dent to bonnet, autoprotect would not deal with flat surfaces on bonnet - New Again resolved scuffs and found another dent, although difficult to get to dent (they even found another one) managed to remove dents and polish out 90% of scuffs, almost invisible to the naked eye, looks great, charged a fair and reasonable price, quick repair. Gary and staff very friendly and helpful, would highly recommend

Ceramic coating

Just had Matrix Black applied to my white XC40. Amazing results, the coating has added a pearlescent finish to the paintwork and it looks truly stunning. Honestly it's better than new.
Many thanks all - superb job.

Gleaming paintwork!

Brilliant! describes my car paintwork now that I've had a Matrix Blue ceramic treatment @ New Again. It also describes the service these great guys delivered.

3 weeks on, I haven't washed the car and it's still gleaming - I can't stop looking at the paintwork and it's really turning heads!

Get in touch with Gary and see what these guys can do for you...you'll be glad you did.
