Frequently Asked Questions

Will my car’s paint match after the repair?

Yes, we use advanced colour-matching technology and manufacturer-approved paint systems to ensure a perfect match. Every vehicle has a unique paint code, which we use as a reference to blend new paint seamlessly with the existing finish. Our skilled technicians also take into account weathering and fading over time to ensure the repaired area looks flawless and blends naturally with the rest of the car.

What are no-fault repairs, and am I eligible for one?

No-fault repairs are for situations where your car has been damaged, and the accident was not your fault. If the other party has admitted liability, their insurance should cover the repair costs, meaning you won’t have to pay a penny. We can help you with the claims process, dealing directly with insurers to ensure the repair is carried out quickly and to a high standard without affecting your no-claims bonus.

Can you remove dents without damaging my car’s paintwork?

Yes, in many cases, we use Paintless Dent Removal (PDR), a technique that allows us to gently massage the dent out from behind the panel without the need for fillers or paint. This method is particularly effective for minor dents caused by hail, shopping trolleys, or car doors. However, if the dent has caused paint damage or creasing, traditional repair methods involving filling and repainting may be necessary.

What is SMART painting, and how does it differ from a full-body respray?

SMART painting is a targeted repair method that focuses only on the damaged area rather than repainting an entire panel or the whole car. This technique saves time and money by precisely blending new paint with the existing finish. It’s perfect for minor scratches, scuffs, and small dents. A full-body respray, on the other hand, involves stripping down the entire car’s paintwork and applying a fresh coat, often for aesthetic reasons or after extensive damage.

How long does it take to repair a dent or scratch on my car?

The repair time depends on the size and severity of the damage. Small dents and scratches, especially those suitable for SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repair, can often be fixed within a few hours. However, larger dents requiring more extensive panel work or paint blending may take a day or two. If additional parts need to be ordered or there is structural damage, the repair could take longer. We always provide an estimated turnaround time before starting any work.

Can I drive my car immediately after a repair?

For most minor repairs like SMART painting and paintless dent removal, you can drive your car as soon as the job is completed. However, if a full panel repaint or respray has been done, we advise waiting at least 24 hours before washing or exposing the car to extreme conditions. This allows the paint to fully cure. If any special precautions are necessary, we will inform you before you take your car home.

Will a scratch or dent repair affect my car’s resale value?

Yes, getting dents and scratches professionally repaired can significantly improve your car’s resale value. Buyers tend to be put off by visible damage as it suggests poor maintenance or hidden structural issues. Even minor scratches can lead to rust if left untreated. A high-quality repair will restore your car’s appearance, making it more attractive to potential buyers and ensuring you get the best possible price when selling or trading it in.
