How Do We Fix Scratches Or Dents On Your Car?

Over time, it is likely that your vehicle will accumulate some scratches and dents. Whether it’s a ‘trolley ding’ while your car was at the supermarket or you’ve been in a minor accident, bumps, dents and chips are a common feature of car ownership.

However, leaving bumps and scratches untreated can have a negative impact on your vehicle. As well as affecting the look of your vehicle they can also end up costing you money - either through corrosion or because you’ll get less when you come to sell it.

However, most bumps and scratches can be repaired quickly leaving your vehicle looking as good as new. Keep reading to find out more.

Why it’s important that you get your car repaired

Scratches and dents on your car or van are part of everyday life. However, what may seem like small cosmetic imperfections to you – dents, scratches and chips – can significantly affect the market value of your car when you come to sell it.

In addition, even a small dent can let rust develop and you could end up with corrosion that is bigger than the size of the original scratch. In time, this can damage your vehicle’s outer shell and repairs can run into hundreds of pounds.

It’s therefore important that you deal with chips, scratches and dents. Most imperfections like this can be easily fixed in our Bodyshop and next we’ll look at how these are fixed.

IFrame

The affected area is sanded and treated to make sure no dirt or dust will show up on the bodywork finish
Primer is added. This acts as a base coat and gives the paintwork a glossy shine
Using your vehicle’s chassis number, we’re able to match the exact paint colour of the repairs to your original paintwork
Using specialist tools, our technicians begin the re-spray process. Timing is crucial as if left for too long the applied paint could run
