SMART Repairs Return for the New Year

Ebony Barker • January 16, 2026

As we welcome the new year, many of us are thinking about fresh starts. For your vehicle, that can mean finally dealing with the small knocks and cosmetic damage that have built up over time.

This January, we are pleased to announce the return of our SMART repair service. SMART repairs are designed to tackle minor cosmetic damage quickly and efficiently. This includes small scuffs, scratches, bumper damage, minimal wheel damage and minor paintwork issues. The result is a professional finish, with less downtime for your vehicle.


Reintroducing SMART repairs allows us to offer our customers a practical solution for everyday damage, whether it’s post-winter wear and tear or something you’ve been meaning to fix for a while.


We’re also here to provide reliable and fair advice around when we believe a traditional body shop repair is the best option for both you and your vehicle, in terms of quality, safety and cost.


For more information or to discuss whether SMART repair is right for your vehicle, get in touch with our team.
