What are Cosmetic SMART repairs? Cosmetic damage to your vehicle doesn’t always require a full structural body repair process. SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repairs offer efficient, cost effective solutions for minor issues.

Different types of SMART repairs include:

🚘 Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)
PDR is ideal for minor dents caused by hail, door dings, or low speed impacts. This technique uses specialist tools to massage the dented area back to its original shape without the need for fillers or repainting. It’s fast, affordable, and maintains your car’s factory finish.

🚘 Plastic Welding
For damage to bumpers, trims, or other plastic components, plastic welding is a go to solution. This process involves heating and reshaping with plastic welding rods to repair cracks or splits, followed by smoothing and repainting to match the original look.

🚘 Glue Pulling
Glue pulling is another effective method for repairing dents, especially in areas where access from behind the panel is limited. Technicians use adhesive tabs and specialist pulling tools to gently restore the panel’s shape, avoiding the need for invasive methods.

Did you know… following an accident, it's your legal right to have your vehicle repaired anywhere of your choice, regardless of what your insurance may say. Call Rackhams Auto Body Centre first after an accident. 📞

If you contact your insurance company, they may try to get your repairs done at one of their 'recommended repairers' and get the repairs done at the lowest possible price without caring as much about the quality of the repair as you do.

Also, your insurers 'recommended repairer' may not hold industry approvals or accreditations for vehicle body repair like we do here at Rackhams Auto Body Centre 🚗
