Technologies
Rather than carrying out a full respray or panel replacement, SMART repairs focus on just the damaged area.
CARS of Grimsby is a family run accident repair centre that provides a range of technical and body repairs, including scratch, scuff, and dent removal, to get your vehicle looking its best and functioning properly again after an accident.
We offer a complete accident repair service to private and commercial customers at an affordable price. Our attention to detail makes us the first choice for accident repairs in Grimsby.
What we offer...
Alloy Wheel Repairs
Typical wheel damage we see includes scuffs, scraped edges, light gouges and small chips. We repair the damaged area and repaint in your alloy’s original colour.
Dent Repairs
These are perhaps the most common form of minor repair we see. Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is used to gently massage the dent out from behind the panel. It’s quick, cost-effective, and leaves no trace of damage.
Bumper Scuffs
The most common signs of bumper damage we see are scuffs and paint transfer, light scratches, small dents or grazing. We repair only the damaged area — not the whole bumper. This is a suitable alternative to making an insurance claim, as repairs are often cheaper than the excess on many insurance policies.
Scratch Repairs
Paint scratches are one of the most frequent issues we see. Surface marks can usually be polished out, while deeper scratches are machine-sanded, colour-matched, painted and blended back to a factory-quality finish.
End of Lease Repairs
We can advise you on how to return your vehicle to an acceptable standard without significant cost.
Mirror Back Scuffs
Mirror backs are prone to scuffing due to the fact that they are the most exposed part of the vehicle. In most cases, the mirror backs can be removed, repaired, painted and re-installed within a short timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if SMART repair is right for my vehicle?
SMART repair is suitable for vehicles with minor cosmetic damage, localised to a small area of the vehicle, and where SMART repair processes do not hinder the ability of the vehicle's sensors to monitor the surroundings effectively. SMART repair might not always be the best option for your vehicle. We're here to provide fair and impartial advice around any larger or insurance repairs your vehicle may need. SMART repaired or otherwise, repairers should always ensure that if your vehicle were to be involved in another accident, it would behave as the manufacturer intended.
Do you carry out insurance repairs?
Yes, we carry out insurance repairs and will take over all communication with your insurance company, so you can carry on as normal, completely stress-free.
How fast can I get my vehicle repaired?
Once agreed, we'll get you booked in for the nearest time we have available and aim to complete any work within the desired timeframe.
What vehicles do you repair?
Thanks to our large facilities and expert team, we can repair everything from cars, both classic and modern, to commercial vehicles, light and heavy. If you need accident repair but are unsure whether we'd be able to help, just get in touch.
