No matter how carefully you handle your car, it will likely end up with a dent, scratch, or scrape during your ownership. Repairing this minor cosmetic damage without an expensive and time-consuming trip to a body shop is possible with mobile specialists and a system called 'Smart' (Small and Medium Area Repair Technology).
A door dent from a careless parker, paint chips from flying stones, or a kerbed wheel—these are all examples of minor, non-dangerous but annoying cosmetic vehicle damage.
Beyond being unsightly and marring your car’s pristine appearance, these small scuffs and dings can be costly. If you're leasing, the damage will likely be noticed upon return, resulting in penalty charges for repair. If it's your own car and you want to sell it, even small scratches or dents can reduce its value.
The same applies when using your car as a trade-in. Buyers and traders often use visible damage to negotiate a lower price. Additionally, untreated minor damage can worsen over time, with small scratches or scuffs potentially developing into rust spots or holes as water and dirt seep in.
Fortunately, today's smaller car bodywork issues can be repaired to a high standard using Smart techniques. Professional products like primers, advanced equipment that matches paint hues perfectly, and buffers and polishers that achieve factory-quality finishes allow technicians to make minor cosmetic damage on bodywork and alloy wheels virtually disappear.
