About Us: Danny

Jason Barker • September 1, 2023

Danny


I’ve worked at various places in the automotive industry, from vehicle factories (such as Honda and Bentley) and accident repair through to cosmetic repairs for end of lease vehicles.


Working at CARS allows me to experience great variation with the number of different makes and models we repair. I also enjoy working within a small family team where you get seen and heard, as opposed to being a number within a larger organisation.


Hobbies: Most of my hobbies revolve around cars, my favourite being supporting my son with his karting.

Favourite Drink: I’m not much of an alcohol drinker. I loved a Cherry Coke growing up, but I mainly just stick to water these days!

Dream Car: Hopefully I can choose more than one! Anything in the Ford Cosworth range. Or I could narrow it down to the Ford RS200 Rally Car and the early Honda NSX. 

Can a SMART repair increase the value of my car?

Why should I use an independent repairer for my SMART repair?

By Ebony Barker • January 16, 2026
SMART repairs (Small-to-Medium Area Repair Technologies) are an incredibly popular way to fix minor cosmetic damage quickly and cost-effectively. However, not all SMART repairs are equal.
