SMART repair is the process of repairing a small area of your vehicle to make it look as good as new again, without replacing a whole panel. It’s a service designed to make your life easier and cut costs.

We can repair most dings, dents,(https://axioma.co.uk/car-dent-repair/) scratches,(https://axioma.co.uk/car-scratch-repair/) and scuffs on car/van panels and bumpers.(https://axioma.co.uk/bumper-scuffs/) Our expert technicians have years of training in body shops and can repair most paint damage (https://axioma.co.uk/car-paint-repair/)provided there is no heavy, structural damage to the car. We are an environmentally-friendly company and will always try to repair rather than replace parts.

We will need space for our van, at least 2 cars space if possible, also access to electricity to carry out the work. If you do not have a drive way, we can take your car away or you may bring the car to us.

The length of time it takes to repair your car depends on the extent of the damage. Bumper scuffs and light panel scratches will typically take 2 to 4 hours to fix.

During the car scratch repair process, an accurate colour match is obtained using a Spectrophotometer, matching the manufacturer’s finish. We can then replicate the colour with our specialist range of tints. So, whether you need one car wheel arch scratch removed, or multiple bumper scuffs repaired, the work can be undertaken in a relatively short amount of time, restoring your car paintwork to a high quality. Please note, colour matches for best results may need blending onto the adjacent panel.

Here are the steps we take to repair scratches and scuffs: 1.   Clean and dry the area to remove dirt and waxes that may interfere with the repair 2.   Carefully cover neighbouring panels and details like lights, badges and moulding to protect them 3.   Sand back the damaged area to reveal paint and primer layers – we rebuild the colour layer by layer for a high-quality finish 4.   Prime with a grey, white, black or dark grey base and cure with an infrared lamp, UV light or blower 5.   Apply the paint in thin layers with a spray gun, heating it to dry between each application 6.   Cure the entire area with an infrared lamp or blower 7.   Allow to cool, then remove any paint nibs with extremely fine grain paper 8.   Polish and buff the panel

Our paintwork comes with a lifetime guarantee,(https://axioma.co.uk/tc/) so you can rest assured that your car will look as good as new for years to come. (If car or van sold it does not carry onto the new client.)

PDR is a type of car repair that removes minor dents where the paintwork is not damaged. It involves accessing the back of the damaged panel and using special tools to ‘massage’ out the dent. We do not carry out these types of repairs but can help you as we know PDR Technicians so we can point you into the right direction.

SMART repair insurance is a specialized motor insurance policy that covers mild scratches, scuffs, and dents on your car. Typically, you will pay an annual premium and be covered for a specific set of damage (read the fine print as this set of damage can be quite limited in breadth).

Typically for bumper scuffs / scrapes you are likely to pay between £190 and £230 depending on damage and location. Panel damage will typically range between £230 and £280 depending on location and severity of the damage.
