Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SMART repair?

SMART stands for ‘Small to medium area repair technique’. A vehicle SMART repair is a cost-effective and efficient method of repairing minor cosmetic damage to a vehicle, such as scratches, dents, chips, or scuffs. We focus on dealing with small, localised damage, and aims to fix the problem without the need for large-scale or expensive bodywork, such as replacement panels.

SMART repairs can be done quickly to a high standard, leaving the customer satisfied whilst minimising costs and wait times for work.

Do repairs prevent further damage?

Body damage, especially from collisions, can expose the metal beneath the paint. Without proper repair, this can lead to rust and corrosion, which will worsen over time and require more expensive repairs later.

It’s also important to repair any bodywork in areas designed to protect you in the instance of a crash, for example bumpers and side panels, as these take the impact and you don’t want them to be already compromised by pre-existing damage.

Overall, repairing the bodywork often prevents long-term damage and reduces bills in the future.

Will repairs preserve my vehicle’s value?

Almost certainly! A car with a damaged body can lose significant resale value. Unfortunately even minor dents, scratches, or rust can make a vehicle less attractive to potential buyers. By repairing the bodywork, customers help maintain or even improve their car’s resale value.

The perception of the condition by buyers, or valuers in a car garage, is very important. Cars in good condition overall give the impression they have been ‘looked after better’ and are therefore more likely to be valued higher, even if other parts of the car (like the engine) are still in top shape.

Will repairs save me money?

Ignoring minor bodywork issues now can lead to more expensive repairs down the road. A small dent can, over time, cause bigger issues like paint chipping or rusting, which are much harder and more expensive to fix later.

Also, some insurance companies may raise premiums for cars with visible damage, even if the damage is minor. Repairing the bodywork promptly could help avoid any potential increase in insurance premiums.
