Dents, scratchesand SMART repairs
Stone chips, scratches, scuffs and dents taken out, and the paint matched to your car.
How a scratch is repaired depends on how deep it goes. Pick the damage to see which layer of paint it has reached and what the repair involves. Smaller SMART repairs are usually done the same day or the next.
Not sure how deep it is? Send a close-up photo and one from a step back, and we’ll tell you.

How deep is the damage?
Only in the lacquer
It hasn’t gone past the clear top layer. Light marks like this can often be polished out without repainting, and we’ll tell you if that’s all it needs.

It’s gone through the lacquer into the colour, so it needs a paint repair. The area is prepared, primed, painted to your colour code and blended in.

Questionsabout our services
Straight answers to what drivers ask us most. Can’t see yours? Call the workshop or send a few photos and ask.
Can I choose my own bodyshop after an accident?
Usually, yes. If the accident wasn’t your fault, you can normally choose who repairs your car. If you’re claiming on your own policy, check your insurer’s terms, because some policies set conditions. Either way, you can send us photos for a free quote.
How long does accident repair take?
It depends on the damage and whether parts need ordering. Send us photos and we’ll give you a realistic time along with your free quote. Smaller SMART repairs are usually done the same day or the next.
Do I have to use my insurer’s approved repairer?
Not always. Many policies let you choose your own repairer, but some set conditions if you go elsewhere, so check your policy or ask your insurer. If you come to us, we deal with your insurer and the paperwork.
How much does it cost to fix a scratch or dent on a car in Ampthill?
It depends on the size and depth of the damage, the panel and your paint colour, so we don’t publish fixed prices. Send a close-up and a photo from a step back with your reg, and we’ll come back to you with a free quote.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Yes. Send a close-up of the damage and one from a step back, with your reg, through the quote form. We’ll come back to you with a free quote.
Do you work on vans and trade vehicles?
Yes. As well as private cars, we take on trade, fleet and light commercial work.
