Prime Automotive Solutions carries out smart repairs at 29 Finlas Street, Glasgow G22 5DU. Smart repair fixes scuffs, scratches, paint chips and bumper scrapes in the damaged area only, with no full respray. Repairs start from £[__] and most take [CONFIRM: time]. Call the bodyshop on 07551 628393 or send photos for a quote.
Small dents are a different job. See dent removal. Scuffed alloys are a different job too. See alloy wheel repair.
Some damage is too big or too deep for a spot repair. Painting over it hides the problem for a while, and no longer.
If yours is on this list, you’ll still get an answer here. The bodyshop works from the same address. See car body repair and car painting.
Blending is the skill. New paint feathered into the old is invisible. New paint stopped at a hard edge is a patch.
Colour is the hard part. Your car’s paint code gives a starting point. Paint fades with sun and age, though, so the code alone isn’t enough. Metallic and pearl finishes change with the angle you look from.
We [CONFIRM: mix to your paint code and adjust against the panel], then blend into the paint beside it. We check the result in daylight, not just under workshop lights. If it isn’t right, tell us before you leave. [CONFIRM: We’ll redo it at no charge.]

| Damage | Best fix | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A scuff or scratch in the paint | Smart repair | Fixes only that area |

| Damage across several panels, or faded paint | Respray of the panels | Colour has to match across them |
A smart repair often costs less than your excess. If the repair costs about the same as your excess, or less, claiming won’t put money in your pocket, and it may affect your premium or your no-claims discount. Check your policy, and ring your insurer if you’re unsure.
If someone else hit you, that’s a different question. See non-fault accident repair.
Leasing companies can charge for damage at hand-back. Scuffed bumpers put buyers off too. Fixing small marks before you return or sell a car often costs less than the deduction.
Fresh paint needs a clean, still space to cure. Outdoors, wind, rain and dust settle on wet lacquer. We work [CONFIRM: indoors, in a dedicated paint area] so the finish sets clean. And if a scuff turns out to be a cracked bumper, the bodyshop is already on site.
