A Smart Repair indicates a small cosmetic repair completed to your vehicle without the large costs involved in using a Vehicle Bodyshop.
Generally, Smart Repairs consist of Paintless Dent Removal to take out those annoying small dents that usually occur in shopping car parks, etc. Provided the dent is relatively small, has not cracked the original paint and is in a position where there are no strengthening bars situated directly behind it, Paintless Dent Removal is the perfect way of restoring the original finish to your vehicle at a fraction of the normal Bodyshop price.
Other Smart Repairs consist of small Paintwork Repairs where a scratch or abrasion to the paintwork from a small collision, say on a bumper corner, requires repair. The repair is completed by a very ‘localised’ repaint using the latest in paint repair techniques to blend with the original finish of your vehicle. Again the costs are a fraction of the normal Bodyshop prices.
Windscreen Chip Repairs completes the Smart Repair suite where the latest in resin technology can permanently repair a windscreen chip or bullet mark. Small cracks can also sometimes be successfully repaired so that they do not ‘run’ any further. Usually, your insurance company will refund the full cost of this repair without affecting your no-claims bonus in any way.
