Isn't it annoying when your lovely car gets a scratch and you are faced with the choice of either losing your no claims bonus or having your car look less than perfect!

Scuffs and chips, vandal scratches, minor dents and bumper damage - all these can be repaired, re-polished and re-finished, fixed and your vehicle made to look like new.

Of course, you could take it to a bodywork garage - they will do an excellent job but the bill will probably be more than you wanted to pay.  Or you could put it in an insurance claim and lose more no claims bonus than the repair would cost.

There is a simple solution - call Auto Smart Repairs, Derby and you will quickly get a polite assessment of the job and, if you choose to progress, the job done extremely well - quickly, politely, conveniently at your own home and probably very much more cheaply than any other way. An experienced car paintwork technician, fully trained and qualified, will carry out the treatment at your home.

"How is it done?"
Auto Smart Repairs car scratch repair process varies depending on the type of scratch sustained for a vandal scratch or a key scratch we will follow the process listed below:

The Process

1. We clean the area we are going to paint with a special degreaser to remove any wax or grease from the car as this may cause reactions
2. We then repair the damaged areas by way of sanding the scratch
3. We then scotch the area that is going to be painted, this is a very light sanding to help key the area to be sprayed.
4. Once keyed we then mask and prime the repair.
5. We then mix the colour by taking the colour code from the car and mixing the correct colour on site, all vans are fitted with full mixing schemes
6. The repaired area is sprayed with the base coat (the colour), once this has dried we then apply the lacquer.
7. Infrared heat lamps are used to cure the lacquer, this normally takes between 20 minutes and 40 minutes.
8. The final stage is to flat and polish the panel if it is required, this involves a light sanding to remove any bits of dirt and orange peal and  then we use a machine to buff the panel and get its shine  back.

This process is used through out the UK in body shops, we have taken our body shop system, miniaturised it, put it on a van, thus bringing the body shop to you!
