Mobile Car Bodywork and SMART Repair Services

The time required for repairs depends on the extent of the damage. Minor dents can often be fixed within a few hours, while more complex repairs may take a day or two.

Yes, we offer a warranty on all our repair work. Our warranty covers the repaired area against any defects or issues that may arise.

No, SMART repair and Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) are different techniques. PDR is used to remove minor dents without damaging the paintwork. This method involves accessing the back of the damaged panel and using special tools to ‘massage’ out the dent.

The cost for a bodywork repair is influenced by various factors, including the size, depth, and location of the damage, as well as the car’s paint finish. Typically, our minor bodywork repairs are less expensive than your car insurance excess, meaning you usually don't need to file a claim.

Yes, we are capable of repairing cracks in the bumper, along with scuffs and scrapes. Repairing these cracks is important since a cracked bumper may not absorb force as efficiently as an intact bumper.

SMART Repair allows us to precisely target and fix the damaged area of your car. The process begins with thoroughly cleaning and drying the affected area to remove any dirt or wax. Next, we carefully mask off the surrounding panels and sand down the damaged spot. We then proceed to repair the area layer by layer, using an infrared lamp to cure each layer. The repaired area is expertly primed and resprayed in thin layers, ensuring a perfect colour match. Finally, we polish and buff the panel, leaving your paintwork looking brand new.

SMART Repair, or Small to Medium Area Repair Technology, is a specialised technique for addressing minor damage to car bodywork. It utilises unique tools, materials, and paints to ensure the repair merges flawlessly with the surrounding area. This method is not only quicker but also more affordable than conventional car repair approaches.

At VIP-Paintworx, we specialise in affordable and convenient repairs aimed at customer satisfaction. The cost of your end of lease car repair depends on the type and size of the damage. A small dent without clear coat damage will be less expensive to fix compared to an extensive scratch covering several panels. Our goal is to offer cost-effective solutions, so you won't need to worry about high repair bills.

Choosing not to repair minor scratches and dents before returning your car can lead to penalties, depending on your contract terms. Dents and scratches are frequently considered "excessive" wear and tear. These penalties are usually higher than the cost of repairing the damage beforehand and can include extra fees usually at extortionate prices. 

No, many bodywork repair experts do not use the SMART method. At VIP-Paintworx, though, every one of our repair specialists is trained and certified in SMART repair, ensuring top-quality service.

For both minor and major repairs, we do not recommend using a DIY bumper repair kit. It's challenging to achieve a professional finish with a can compared to a spray gun. DIY attempts can often result in more damage, increasing repair costs and potentially devaluing your vehicle. Complex repairs, particularly on cracked or split bumpers, need a specialist bumper repair technician to properly sand, seal, and paint the area for the best results.
