It’s easy for cars to pick up small scratches and dents during everyday use like loading and unloading the shopping, close contact to trees and bushes, other car doors when parked too close, the kids footy missing the mark, unwieldy shopping trolleys, loose gravel striking the body of your car when driving and many other instances.
As we offer this service ‘on site’ at our workshop in Newton, SA, if your car is booked in for its Log Book servicing or other repairs, you can conveniently have your car’s bodywork repaired, buffed and polished at the same time, so it almost looks like new again.
For minor bodywork repairs you can't go past Approved Automotive Services. Visit our workshop at 14 Stradbroke Road, Newton or call us during business hours.
What types of scratches can you fix?
Some of the most common scratches Approved Automotive Services fix are bumper scuffs, some key scratches, pole damage and trolley scratches.
How do you fix scratches, scrapes and scuffs?
We find that most scratches, scrapes and scuffs can be polished out, using the appropriate equipment and specific techniques. More serious scratches, scrapes and scuffs may need sanding, filling, priming and colour matching the paint to the manufacturer's paint code specifications.
Can you fix paint chips?
Yes, we can fix some paint chips dependent on the amount of chips and how deep they are. We will inspect and advise what is possible when you bring your car in.
Is it worth fixing scratches on my car?
If the scratch is below the customer’s insurance excess, or there are multiple scratches to be repaired around the car, then yes, it is worth fixing scratches. It would cost considerably less than your insurance excess.
How long will it take to fix a scratch?
As we have a purpose built area in our Newton workshop, in most cases, a half to a full day is required. Why not book in your bodywork repairs at the same time as your car service, it will save you time off the road.
What kind of dents & dings can you fix?
The most common dents and dings we can fix are shopping trolleys dents, another car door hitting the car in a car park resulting in a dent, pole dents, side of cars that may have been scraped along a wall, broken side view mirrors.
How do you fix a dent?
The aim is to get behind the dented area, support the panel using a series of bars and levels to massage the dent, creating a paintless dent repair. In some instances, glue pulling may be required.
Can you fix hail damage?
No, unfortunately we do not fix hail damage.
