The best repair shop I have used in over 40 years of motoring, including repair centres I have used for family. The smart repairs are superb and so far I have been unable to spot any difference from a full body shop. So far they have also saved me a fortune.

Smart Car Body Repairs – Frequently Asked Questions

Do you still offer mobile SMART repair?

No. The mobile service has stopped and every repair now happens at our workshop at 387 Ashton Road, Oldham. Controlled conditions give a better finish than a driveway, and bad weather no longer cancels bookings.

What is SMART repair?

SMART stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technology. It repairs the damaged area of a panel and blends it into the surrounding paint, rather than repainting the whole panel.

What damage can SMART repair fix?

Scratches, scuffs, small dents, stone chips, bumper scrapes, peeling paint, alloy wheel scuffs, kerb damage, paint fade and sun damage.

What if the damage is too big for SMART repair?

We can still repair it. Being workshop-based, we take on larger bodywork, including accident damage. Your quote will say which type of repair the car needs.

How do I distinguish between a car body workshop and Smart repair?

Our team assesses your vehicle damage during the quote process to recommend the best option. In principle, minor cosmetic damage like scratches, bumper scuffs and alloy chips are handled on-site via our SMART Repair service, while extensive structural or full-panel resprays are completed in our Oldham body workshop.

Smart Repair: Best for isolated chips, minor dents, bumper scrapes and alloy wheel scuffs.
Oldham Body Workshop: Required for deep panel crumples, large-scale accident damage, insurance claims and full-panel paint restoration.

Can I claim on my insurance?

Yes. We handle insurance work as well as private repairs, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is SMART repair cheaper than a full bodyshop repair?

For small damage, usually. Only the damaged area is prepared and painted, so it takes less time and less material than refinishing the whole panel.

How long does a SMART repair take?

Usually the same day. Drop the car off between 8 and 10am or 10am and 12pm, and most minor repairs are ready to collect later that day. Larger or multi-panel work takes longer, and your quote will include a timescale.

How do I get a quote?

Upload up to eight photos using the form on this page, or call 0161 302 0201. Daylight photos, one close up and one from a couple of metres back, give us the most to go on.

Will the repair match my car’s paint?

The paint is mixed to your car’s paint code, then blended into the surrounding panel so there’s no hard edge. Matching under workshop lighting is more accurate than outdoors.

Do you repair alloy wheels?

Yes. We repair scuffs and kerb damage, and refinish wheels in their original colour.

Where are you and which areas do you cover?

We’re at 387 Ashton Road, Oldham, OL8 2NA, within easy reach of Ashton-under-Lyne, Failsworth, Chadderton, Royton and the rest of Greater Manchester.
