Questions people ask us

More about repairs and claims

Can you match my car's paint colour?
Yes. Paint is colour-matched to your car and blended into the surrounding panels, so the repair blends in with your original paintwork.
Should I claim on insurance for a scratch?
It depends on your excess. For smaller damage, paying privately can make sense if the repair costs less than your excess. Send photos for an estimate and decide from there.
How long does a paint or scratch repair take?
It depends on the size of the area and the finish. We'll give you a timeframe with your estimate.
Can I get an estimate from photos?
Yes. Upload photos through the estimate form and your chosen workshop will come back to you with next steps. We'll confirm the estimate once we've seen the car in person.

Not sure where to start? Send a few photos and your nearest workshop will take it from there.
