Frequently asked questions
- How are car body repairs done?
- Garages and bodyshops use a variety of techniques to repair your car's bodywork. Rusty areas can be either ground out, or cut out and replaced with fresh metal. Dents can be sucked or pulled out. Imperfections can be smoothed and polished to a perfect finish by using a little filler. Finally paint is perfectly blended to ensure a flawless finish.
- How are dents repaired?
- A body shop will use a number of techniques to remove dents including: 'sucking' the dent out, using a 'reverse hammer' to knock the dent from within, and using filler to fill and smooth a dent for a flawless finish.
- What are SMART Repairs?
- SMART repairs (Small Medium Area Repair Technology) describe a range of techniques for removing dents, scratches, bumper and wheel flaws, in a localised area. They don't require full panel resprays and can be performed by mobile mechanics.
- What is 'paintless dent repair'?
- Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) covers a wide range of dent removal techniques that don't involve filler or paint, including 'pulling out' dents with suction or glue, or using metal rods to push the dent out from the reverse of the dented panel.
- How do bodyshops match car paint colours?
- Over time, a car's paint (or clear coating) will fade or become oxidised, so an 'off the shelf' manufacturer's colour won't match exactly. Body Shops will therefore closely examine the condition of your paint in multiple light conditions and order a closely matching 'known variant' of the original colour. Finally, when applying the paint, they will 'blend' it to draw the eye away from any slight difference in colour.
- How much does bodywork repair cost?
- The cost of Body Repair will vary hugely depending on the work required. Localised dents can be removed for well under £100, whereas any respraying work will cost at least double that. Quotes for accident repairs or chassis realignment will be much higher, but may be covered by your insurance company.

Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before. The brand's motorsport credentials are equally impressive. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Ford ended Ferrari's six-year winning streak, beating the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini to the title with an ever-popular GT40. Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death. Find out the average price of a Ford service or MOT here, or read this guide to see how Ford's maintenance costs compare with Vauxhall and Volkswagen.
Booking a car bodywork repair job can be daunting, so we've compiled a quick guide to the many available options. You might consider panel beating if you're looking for a car panel repair. Using this technique - cheaper than replacing the affected panels - specialist technicians reshape the metal on the body of a car. A car scuff repair is also more affordable than replacing a panel, especially if you book a mobile car body repair expert.A small dent repair could be completed using small, medium area repair technology (SMART). This approach features specialised tools to make the damaged area look like new - you can learn more about what it involves here.Scratches and scuffs are common, but removing them with the right tools is simple enough. You might be able to do rust repairs without a mechanic; however, finding reliable car bodywork repairers near you is the best way to ensure a professional job.
