Body Shop vs Mobile 'Smart Repair'

What smart repair does well

SMART stands for small and medium area repair techniques — small, localised marks like a minor scuff or scratch. For that it's quick and convenient.

Where a body shop wins

For a full panel, a proper colour-match and blend, a respray, rust or accident damage, a controlled baked booth gives a far better, longer-lasting finish.

Cost and convenience

Mobile repair scores on convenience for little jobs; a body shop is the better bet for anything larger — and we offer a courtesy car.

Not sure?

Bring the car to our Grimsby workshop and we'll tell you straight whether it's a quick job or one worth doing in the booth.
