Dents, scratches and bodywork: the basics
What the job involves
Small dents without paint damage can often be pushed out with paintless dent removal. Scuffs and scratches are sanded, filled and resprayed to blend with the panel. Accident damage goes to a body shop that can replace panels and check the structure. Mobile smart-repairers handle smaller jobs at your home.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Send clear photos in daylight and the paint code (on a plate in the door shut or under the bonnet). Ask whether the repair is guaranteed, how long the car is needed and whether the quote is fixed.
Safety and good to know
If the damage was in a collision you are claiming for, your insurer may want to see the car or use an approved repairer first. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.
Good to know
a smart repair blends a small area and is quickest; a body shop repaints the whole panel for a seamless finish. Plastic bumpers can often be repaired rather than replaced. Rust that bubbles through paint usually comes from underneath, so a lasting repair means treating the metal, not just the surface.

Will a smart repair match the paint?
A good technician mixes paint to your car's code and blends into the surrounding panel. Metallic and pearl colours are harder to match, so look at examples of their work.
