SMART repair in Coventry
Fix the damaged patch, not the whole panel. SMART stands for small to medium area repair technique, and it is quicker and cheaper than respraying a full panel.
Body & paint
What SMART repair means
Instead of respraying a whole panel, we repair just the damaged area and blend the new paint into what is already there. That keeps more of your original paintwork and usually means the car is back with you sooner.
It suits scuffs, small dents and localised scratches. Paint is colour matched to your car's code so the repair does not stand out.

Aftercare
Looking after it afterwards
- Don't wash anything painted with chemicals (traffic film remover, snow foam, strong shampoos) for 3 to 4 weeks while the new paint fully hardens.
- Hand wash with plain water and a soft mitt in that time, and keep pressure washers well back from the repair.
- Hold off on waxing or polishing the repaired area for 30 days.
We send these again by email when you collect the car.
