Overview

What This Service Actually Covers

The premium difference is not just colour matching. It is proper prep, proper blending, and a repair process that makes cosmetic damage disappear without sending your car into a workshop for days.

A scuff is what you get brushing against something — a garage wall, a bollard, another car, a trolley. Sometimes it's just transferred paint or rubber sitting on the surface that polishes straight off; other times the paint underneath is actually damaged and needs respraying. I'll tell you which, honestly — no point charging you for a respray when a cut and polish does it.

A Kia Sportage in Greenvale had a bumper scuff off a garage wall that buffed out in under an hour; another that looked identical was cracked through and needed paint. Either way I sort it in your driveway. Send a photo and I'll let you know what yours actually needs.

Straight up

When scuff repair isn't the right fix

I'd rather tell you honestly than take a job I can't do properly. Send me a photo and if it's one of these, I'll say so and point you to the right trade:

  • There is a real dent under the scuff or the panel is pushed in — that becomes a dent repair
  • A plastic bumper is cracked through at the mounts — it may need replacing
  • The damage is on the bonnet or roof — I do not work those panels

Everything else — the everyday cosmetic stuff — is exactly what I do. Not sure which yours is? Send a photo and I'll give you a straight answer.
