What Are SMART Repairs?
SMART stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technology. These are targeted, professional mobile SMART repairs designed to fix minor cosmetic damage without replacing parts or respraying entire panels.
We use:
SMART repair paint systems to blend and match your car’s original colour
Tools and fillers designed for SMART body repairs and dent smart repair
Fast-drying, durable materials used by top SMART vehicle repair specialists
These SMART car repair techniques are ideal for:
Paint scratches and swirl marks
Small panel dents
Bumper corner damage
Kerbed alloy wheels
Minor scuffs on trims or panels
SMART mobile car repairs help restore your vehicle’s value and appearance, without the long wait or high cost of traditional bodyshops.
Worried the SMART Repair Won’t Match Your Paintwork?
That’s a common concern especially on newer cars with tricky finishes or older ones where the paint has faded slightly over time. However with our SMART paint repair methods, matching the original colour isn’t guesswork.
Our mobile technicians use advanced colour matching systems that scan your vehicle’s paintwork to identify the exact formula needed. We then mix that colour on-site using factory-spec tinters, so your repair blends in seamlessly with the rest of the panel.
The result is a smooth finish that looks like it was never damaged in the first place. There will not be any odd patches or mismatched tones. SMART car paint repair is all about precision, and our technology ensures you get a professional result every time.
This applies across all SMARTpaintwork repairs, whether we’re fixing a keyed door, restoring a scuffed bumper, or respraying part of a panel after a dent. Whatever the job, the colour will match.

There are 7 steps and processes we follow when undertaking a SMART Repair. This process is for every job we carry out, big or small. The steps are as follows:
Step 1 - Damage assessment and surface cleaning
Step 2 - Surface Preparation
Step 3 - Masking
Step 4 - Application of primer
Step 5 - Sanding of primer
Step 6 - Paint application
Step 7 - Paint correction and finishing
