How it Works
You can request your booking in seconds, with no long forms to fill out or pre-payment required. Just follow this five-step process to request an appointment at the right cosmetic repairer for you.
- Enter your reg and postcode
- Use our ‘splat’ tool which helps you correctly select your car’s damage and estimate the right cosmetic repair. You can select multiple repairs across multiple panels as part of your estimate (full price breakdown available in estimate details)
- Compare instant estimates from local repairers to find the best one for your needs
- Select a suitable date and time and enter a few contact details to request a booking
- Upload images of the damaged area(s). This will help your chosen repairer ensure you’ve requested the correct repair and been shown the right estimate.
Your chosen repairer will always double-check your selection before confirming the final price as well as the appointment details.
Why Would I Not Just Go Through My Insurer?
Although it might seem more convenient to make a claim through your insurance policy, booking a SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repair yourself is usually the better long-term option – especially if you’ve worked hard to build up your no-claims discount.
Making any sort of claim on your insurance may reset this, so why would you want to waste all your hard work on something you can easily sort on your own?
Taking control of your SMART repair will also ensure your insurance premiums don’t rise in the long-term and, when you don’t have to worry about paying any excess, you might also be able to get a great deal in the process.
You should still let your insurance provider know about any accidents or collisions, especially if there was another vehicle involved, even if you don’t plan on making a claim on your policy.
When Should I Book a Car Scratch Repair?
Noticing a scratch on your car’s paintwork can be frustrating – but finding a solution doesn’t have to be.
Whilst you may be able to repair minor scratches yourself using off-the-shelf products, larger scratches need a more thorough repair which only a professional SMART repairer can achieve.
Having the scratch repaired can help you avoid unnecessary wear and tear or rust developing later down the line.
Whether you’ve got a paintwork scratch or a bumper scuff, you can find a static garage or local mobile repairer for the job in no time when you use our platform.
Using SMART repair techniques, specialists at your chosen garage can repair small areas of paintwork damage in as little as 3 hours.
Your chosen repairer will complete a paint-match to ensure your car shows no signs of cosmetic damage, so that you can take pride in your vehicle’s appearance again.
