It provides body-shops the processes and procedures directly related to the safe repair of accident damaged vehicles. BSI 10125 details minimum requirements for competent personnel, appropriate and well maintained equipment, suitable repair methods and quality for repair materials.It focuses on the four key elements of repair, methods, people, equipment and materials. As a result BSI 10125 directs body shops to the achievement of a safe and technically sound repair.

Our History
Lloyd Cooke Motors opened his first body shop in 1972 on the Tullyalley Road and worked day and night over the next 17 years building up the business. In 1989 Lloyd and 2 members of staff moved to bigger premises in Tullyalley Business Centre and ten years later had outgrown this site and moved to their current address on the Lismacarol Road just of the main Derry to Belfast Road. Back in 1999, the company had invested in two Nova Verta spray ovens and 3 Car-0-Liner jigs and as time progressed we became approved by almost all the major insurance companies and manufacturers. In 2007 the company expanded again and 2013 the decision was taken to invest in a Rapid Repair System. In 2016 a third extension was planned and this opened in 2017.
The new extension houses some state-of-art equipment, including the first of its kind in the UK a Rapid Repair system that includes 5 gas heated spray ovens which we designed specifically to cater for larger vehicles. One of the most impressive aspects of this new equipment is the speed in which the ovens reach operating temperature.The new ovens heat up in 1 minute 15 seconds compared to 15 to 20 minutes for the conventional oil heated ovens. New Hella Gutmann systems calibrates cameras, parking sensors and radars fitted to many prestige cars nowadays and the company also invested in a Vixen Wheel Blaster System for repairing alloy wheels.
