How to Book Your Car's Scuff Repair in Manchester

  1. Enter your vehicle reg and postcode
  2. Select the damage through our tool (details provided during the booking process)
  3. Compare estimates. You can sort local body shops by whatever best suits your needs: price, distance, reviews and ratings or availability.
  4. Pick a date and time for your appointment & complete your booking - you never pay for anything until after all the work has been done.

 

Please note, you can only book minor scuff or scratch repairs in Manchester through BookMyGarage.com. If you require more significant work, you may need to contact the repairer directly. We are also unable to accept bookings for electric cars at this stage.

 

After you book your appointment, we send you a confirmation email with a summary of your booking. We also inform the body shop, who may also be in touch to confirm the appointment or to ask for extra details. They may also recommend a different repair if the damage selected does not match the level of damage your vehicle has suffered.

You never pay for your booking until after all the work has been completed and deal with the body shop directly after the initial booking process. You also have the ability to change or cancel your booking for free until the day of your appointment.

 

When Does My Car Need a Scuff Repair in Manchester?

We recommend booking your car in for a scuff repair if you suffer a minor collision with a stationary object, such as a tree, bush, shopping trolley, wall, curb or bollard.

It may be worthwhile booking a scratch or paint repair at the same time as the repairer may be unable to fix the scuff without sorting out the rest of the damage as well.

 

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Why Fix a Small Scuff?

You should always look to fix your small scuffs, not least because damaged bodywork can reduce your vehicle’s resale value. Other drivers might worry about mechanical neglect and assume you haven’t taken care of your vehicle if there is visible damage.

You also run the risk of making the scuff worse by leaving it as rust can form or you could compound it with more damage. This can turn an affordable repair into something much more expensive.

If you're worried about the condition of your car, enter your vehicle reg and postcode to book an inspection through BookMyGarage in just 3 steps today.

Can Scuffs Be Buffed Out?

Yes, minor scuffs can be buffed out. You can either use polish or wax and a light cloth to work away at the scratch, filling it in and making it less visible, or use WD-40 to soften the paintwork to scrub your car without damaging the paintwork.

While both are more cost-effective ways to deal with scuffed bodywork, you may not always be able to remove the scuff fully this way. The most effective way to remove a car scuff is to book an appointment with a local repairer.

How Much Does a Car Scuff Repair Cost in Manchester?

The price will depend on labour time and how much paint and materials are needed. This is set by each garage, so it’s always worth comparing Manchester body shops to ensure you get the best deal.

Once you have selected the area(s) of damage and size of scuff, our system will provide a rough estimate. This is based on our knowledge of how long the repair will take and how much paint and materials it needs, all provided directly by each repairer.

Each Manchester repairer has their own hourly labour rate and paint/materials cost, so you'll be able to instantly compare price estimates from each car body shop to choose the best one.
