Vehicle Scratch Repair

Scratches are an unsightly and annoying part of vehicle ownership, but there’s no need to put up with scuffs and scrapes. You might be concerned about being without your car for a long period of time but the repair may take less time that you think. Some light scratches can be repaired with a compound machine polish which may take as little as an hour.

If the scratch breaks through the topcoat it would likely need a respray but depending on the type of repair (for example a bumper scuff) it may only be in the workshop for the day or overnight. Damage to large flat panels such as doors or bonnets require more time to repair but they are typically only in for 2-4 days.

When a scratch exposes the metal on a panel it can cause corrosion which can lead to much higher repair costs in the future. As we live in a country with a very wet climate corrosion can get into a panel quickly so we recommend getting these type of scratches repaired as soon as possible.

Scratches can reduce the value of your vehicle or mean high return fees for lease cars.
