About us:

The Baylis Group is a well-established, privately owned motor retail and accident repair business employing nearly 400 dedicated professionals across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and South Wales. The ARC management team has over 130 years of body shop experience between them, our team also includes long-standing staff, many of whom have been with us for decades — a testament to our culture of employee engagement and development.

We operate out of 2 sites,

Our flagship Gloucester Accident Repair Centre is a 23,000 sq. ft purpose-built facility, employing:

  • 20 Productive staff (avg. service > 20 years)
  • 4 Vehicle Estimators
  • 4 EV-qualified technicians

Our Cheltenham Centre operates at half the size but delivers the same level of excellence. Both are led by Dave Stokes, a 48-year industry veteran who rose from panel repairer to centre manager.

Both branches hold the BS10125 - BSI Kitemark Standard. We ensure the vehicle is repaired right the first time, every time. The estimating team are qualified to VDA standard and fully trained on the Audatex system. Our workshop team is fully trained to ATA standards in either Senior Panel, Senior M.E.T or Senior Paint.

Sustainability & the Future

Customer Satisfaction

We make no bones about the fact that we’re a customer-focused company – as part of a larger group of Vauxhall, MG, Peugeot and Suzuki franchised retailers, we are committed to delivering the best service possible.

We have many different satisfaction surveys carried out by the vehicle manufacturers. Where customers don’t receive a survey from one of them, we will send our own using the independent customer satisfaction platform provided by JudgeService©.

Customer comments are reviewed by the management team and directors. These regular reviews, with several key accounts, provide us with lots of positive feedback and the knowledge that we are doing a good job.

However, we’re not immune to negative comments, and we welcome feedback and the opportunity to put things right – we appreciate that our customers are also your customers, and a bad experience may reflect on you. All JudgeService© feedback is channelled through the Group’s business development centre who, on the receipt of negative feedback, will raise a Corrective Action Report (CAR).

The CAR process is our way to ensure all complaints are dealt with and documented with a focus on avoiding the situation from happening again.

For further information please contact the group ARC manager, Dave Stokes – 07812 559765; dave.stokes@baylis.uk.com.

  • We will store all the personal data you provide on our secure password- and firewall-protected servers and in an enclosed locked facility.

We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat the identifiers as personal information.

We use this information to understand and analyse trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behaviour on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
  • In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Baylis website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
  • Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
  • We are registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office and our registration number is: Z4786241
  • Any Data Protection issues can be directed to info@baylis.uk.com or The Commercial Director, Baylis (Gloucester) Ltd, Princess Elizabeth Way, Cheltenham, GL51 0AL.
