Inspection first

Corrosion is often worse than it looks from the outside. Before we give a firm price we need to see how far it goes and whether the surrounding metal is sound enough to weld to. We’ll inspect it, explain what’s needed and give you a price before starting.

Welding for your MOT

Structural corrosion near suspension mounts, sills and other load-bearing areas is a common reason for an MOT failure. If your car has failed on corrosion, send us the failure details and we can advise you on the next step. We inspect the corrosion before confirming a price.

Vehicle Welding questions

How much does car welding cost?

Welding at VDR Auto starts from £70. The final price depends on the location and size of the repair and how much corrosion there is. We inspect it first and agree the price with you.

Can you weld a car for an MOT repair?

Yes. We carry out MOT related welding repairs. Send us the MOT failure details and we can advise you.

Can a rusty car be welded?

Often, yes, as long as there is enough sound metal around the corroded area to weld new metal to. In some cases the corrosion is too extensive to repair economically, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case.

Can you weld an exhaust?

Yes, where the exhaust pipe is sound enough to weld. If it is too thin or corroded, replacing the section is usually better.

Is welding cheaper than replacing the part?

Sometimes. A welded repair can be cheaper for an exhaust or bracket, but not always. We'll explain both options where they apply.

Can you quote welding without seeing the car?

No. Corrosion often turns out to be more extensive once it is cleaned back, so we inspect the vehicle before giving a price.

How long does vehicle welding take?

It depends on the size and location of the repair. Small repairs can often be done the same day; larger ones take longer. We'll give you an idea when we inspect the car.

Do you need to inspect corrosion before giving a price?

Usually, yes. Corrosion can spread further than it appears, so we inspect it before confirming the price.
