What are SMART repairs?
The SMART in SMART repairs stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technology. It’s a cost-effective and efficient approach to fix minor vehicle damage offered by many a car bodyshop and accident repair centre – R&P included! It’s a type of body repairs targets ideal for localised issues like dents, scratches and chips, typically on the exterior surface of a vehicle.

One of the major benefits that East Grinstead clients enjoy when eligible for SMART repairs, is that the required repair work can be tackled without the need for extensive replacements or refinishing. Technicians meticulously blend paints and employ precision methods, ensuring seamless results that match the original finish. SMART repairs minimise downtime, cost and even environmental impact when compared to many other traditional techniques used for crash repairs and bodywork repairs, making them a popular choice for maintaining a vehicle's aesthetics and resale value.
