SMART Repairs

Smart repairs, short for “Small to Medium Area Repair Technology,” refer to a specialised approach in the field of automotive repair and maintenance. It involves using advanced techniques, tools, and materials to repair minor damages to vehicles in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The goal of smart repairs is to fix specific areas of damage without having to replace entire components or panels, thus saving time and money. They also contribute to reducing waste by minimizing the need for full replacements and repainting. However, it’s important to note that smart repairs have their limitations, and not all damages can be effectively addressed through these techniques. More severe damages, such as extensive bodywork or structural issues, may still require our traditional repair methods.

Smart repairs are typically employed for addressing small-scale cosmetic damages, such as dents, scratches, scuffs, and other minor imperfections on a vehicle’s exterior surfaces. These repairs are commonly carried out on items like bumpers, alloy wheels, mirrors, and interior components.

Some common techniques used in smart repairs include:

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

This technique involves manipulating the metal from the underside of the panel to remove minor dents without the need for repainting.

Scratch Repair

Our specialists use techniques like wet sanding, polishing, and touch-up paint to address surface scratches.

Bumper Repair

Small dents, scuffs, and cracks on plastic bumpers can be repaired using specialised techniques that involve heat reshaping, and filler application.

Alloy Wheel Repair

Damaged alloy wheels can be repaired by straightening bent rims, addressing curb rash, and refinishing the wheel's surface.

Interior Repairs

Smart repairs can also extend to the interior of the vehicle, where minor damages to seats, dashboard components, and other interior surfaces are repaired without requiring major replacements.

Windshield Chip Repair

Chips and small cracks in a windshield can be repaired using resin injection techniques, preventing the need for complete windshield replacement.
