Types of Damage We Fix
We handle everything from minor cosmetic damage through to more extensive panel repairs, all completed to BS10125 standard.
🚗 Dents & Door Dings
Car park dents, door dings and crease dents from low-speed impacts. We assess whether SMART repair or full panel repair is the right approach for your specific damage.
🧴 Scratches & Scuffs
Surface scratches, scuffs, deep scratches through to metal, and keyed paintwork. We match your vehicle's exact colour using the PPG MoonWalk system for an invisible repair.
🔧 Bumper Repairs
Bumper scuffs, cracks and splits. Whether it needs a repair or a full replacement, we'll give you an honest recommendation and a clear written estimate upfront.
🎨 Paint Chips & Touch-Ups
Stone chips, paint chips and localised paint damage. Left untreated, paint chips can lead to rust — we repair them quickly and accurately using factory-matched paint.
⚪ Kerbed Alloy Wheels
Kerbing damage to alloy wheels repaired and refinished. We match the original wheel colour and finish for a result that looks as good as new.
🌟 Full & Partial Resprays
Where damage covers a larger area, a partial or full panel respray delivers the best result. All resprays carried out using the PPG MoonWalk colour matching system.
SMART Repair vs Full Panel Repair
One of the most common questions we get is whether damage needs a SMART repair or a full panel repair. Here's a straightforward guide.
SMART repair
Small to Medium Area Repair Technology. Ideal for minor, localised damage — small dents, surface scratches, scuffs and paint chips. Faster and more affordable than a full panel repair. In many cases completed the same day.
Full panel repair
Required when damage is more severe — deep creases, structural damage, or paint 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.
This matters for dent and scratch repairs in particular. A poor colour match is immediately obvious and can reduce your vehicle's value. With PPG MoonWalk, the repair is invisible once complete — regardless of your vehicle's age, colour or finish type.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does dent repair cost in Paisley?

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 to 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?
Having dents and scratches professionally repaired to BS10125 standard 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.
