About
An independent body shop that takes paint seriously
RC Autobody is run by Roy Cardno in Aberdeenshire, repairing and respraying cars, vans and light commercials for local drivers, traders and fleets.
Our story
Built on repeat customers
RC Autobody started out doing what most good body shops start out doing — fixing friends' cars properly when the main dealer quote came back unrealistic. Word spread, and the workshop grew around it.
Today the shop handles everything from single-panel scuffs and insurance accident repairs through to complete colour changes and restoration paintwork. The approach hasn't changed: prepare the surface properly, match the colour exactly, and don't hand a car back until it looks right in daylight.
Most work comes from recommendations, which is exactly how Roy Cardno likes it.
