SMART Repair vs Full Panel Repair — Which Do You Need?

SMART repair (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) is ideal for minor, localised damage — small dents, surface scratches, scuffs and paint chips. It’s faster and cheaper than a full panel repair, and in many cases can be completed the same day.

Full panel repair or replacement is required when the damage is more severe — deep creases, structural damage, or when the paint has been compromised across a large area. Our technicians will always recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution after a free assessment.

Our Paint Matching Technology

Matching paint perfectly is one of the most technically challenging parts of any repair. At Linwood Coachworks, we use the PPG MoonWalk paint mixing and matching system — the same technology used by main dealerships — to ensure a perfect colour match to your vehicle’s original finish. You won’t be able to tell where the repair was made.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does dent repair cost in Paisley?

Cost depends on the size, depth and location of the dent. Minor dents and door dings can start from as little as £80–£150. We always provide a free, no-obligation written estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises.

Can you match my car’s paint colour exactly?

Yes. We use the PPG MoonWalk paint matching system which accurately reproduces your vehicle’s original factory colour — including aged or weathered paint finishes. The repair will be invisible once complete.

How long does a dent or scratch repair take?

Minor SMART repairs can often be completed within a day. Larger panel repairs or resprays typically take 2–4 days depending on parts and drying time. We’ll give you a clear timeframe at the assessment stage.

Will dent repair affect my car’s resale value?

Quite the opposite — having dents and scratches professionally repaired to BS 10125 standards will protect and improve your vehicle’s resale value compared to leaving the damage unrepaired.

Should I claim on insurance for a dent or scratch?

For minor damage, it’s often not worth claiming on insurance as it may affect your no-claims bonus. We’ll give you an honest assessment and a cash price so you can make an informed decision. For more significant damage, we can handle the insurance claim on your behalf.
