India’s automotive industry is experiencing a shift, especially in bodywork and paint jobs. At the forefront is Madhus Body Shop, a project driven by Nikhil B., Deputy Managing Director of Madhus Garage Equipment. Known for supplying premium garage equipment across India, Madhus is now redefining the body shop experience.
Located in South Bangalore, Madhus Body Shop spans 9,000 square feet across two floors. The state-of-the-art facility boasts several features that ensure premium service, with Nikhil highlighting the shop’s unique capabilities during a tour.
What sets Madhus Body Shop apart is its commitment to quality. Nikhil emphasizes the shop’s specialized infrastructure, a fully equipped crash repair system, and both a prep and paint booth. The inclusion of these booths ensures a pristine environment for painting, free from contaminants that could affect the finish. The paint booth is engineered for waterborne paints but can also accommodate solvent-based options, providing flexibility.
“The quality of the paint job as it exits the booth is nearly perfect,” Nikhil says. Madhus Body Shop uses top-tier spray guns, ensuring every panel receives meticulous attention. A partnership with Glasurit ensures perfect paint tint matching with OEM specifications.
More Than Just a Paint Job
Madhus Body Shop goes beyond high-quality paint jobs. Nikhil and his team aim to create an environment where car enthusiasts feel at home. Their detailing center enhances the final shine after a paint job, while a dedicated washing area ensures vehicles are carefully cleaned at every stage.
Nikhil’s journey began in 2018 after his Skoda Octavia vRS was vandalized and he struggled to find a body shop that met his standards. Frustrated with subpar results, he founded Madhus Body Shop in 2022 with a vision to deliver flawless paint jobs—no sanding marks, no scratches, no swirl marks. This vision, born from his personal experience, drives the entire team.
Madhus, which started with tyre retail more than 70 years ago, later expanded to include Madhus Garage Equipment. Supplying premium garage equipment to discerning workshops and tyre shops, Madhus Garage Equipment, the parent company of Madhus Body Shop, has been a key player in India’s automotive equipment supply industry for over 35 years. Nikhil aims to bring his father’s legacy of customer-centric service to the body shop industry, offering premium, customer-focused service.
For Nikhil, Madhus Body Shop isn’t just a business—it’s a passion project. His goal is to build a reputation for quality and customer satisfaction rather than immediate profits. He envisions the shop as a hub for car lovers to connect and share their passion.
Madhus Body Shop is already making waves, with projects like restoring a Skoda Octavia vRS in the stunning Mazda Soul Red Crystal color. Nikhil’s team went above and beyond to satisfy the demanding client.
As Madhus Body Shop continues to grow, Nikhil and his team are ready to set new benchmarks for quality and precision in the industry. “We’re here to change the game,” he says confidently. With unmatched care, every car that leaves the shop is not just restored but reborn.
