With Smart Repair (Small to Medium Area Repair Technique), we offer you a cost-effective way to quickly repair minor damage such as scratches in the paintwork, dents in the door or damage to the bumper here in Berlin. Instead of replacing entire components, only the affected area is repaired. This significantly reduces costs, whilst the vehicle usually only needs to stay in the workshop for a few hours.

Spot Repair is suitable for minor paintwork damage confined to a clearly defined area, such as stone chips or a scratch on the wheel rim. The damaged area is sanded down, primed and repainted with a precisely matched colour. A thin layer of clear coat is then applied to ensure a smooth transition to the rest of the surface.
Minor dents or bumps can sometimes be repaired using this method without damaging the original paintwork. In such cases, the panel is carefully pushed back into place and the area is then finely polished to smooth out any unevenness and restore the shine. If the surface is intact, repainting can usually be avoided altogether.
Minor paintwork damage to the bodywork can thus be easily repaired using spot repair. The prerequisite is that the affected area does not have any load-bearing or safety-critical functions.
In the case of cracks in plastic parts such as the bumper, the damaged area is stabilised from the inside using a special filler, then smoothed and, if necessary, colour-matched. This preserves the original appearance – without the need for an expensive replacement.
Minor damage to the interior can also be repaired in this way. Special repair compounds are used for this purpose, which are colour-matched and finished to match the original surface as closely as possible in both texture and appearance.

Scratches, stone chips or small dents on the bodywork are usually completed within one working day. If several vehicle parts need to be worked on, we usually allow one to two days.
Prices start at around 120 euros for a thumb-sized dent. We will provide you with a customised quote for damage to several vehicle parts.
Not all damage is suitable for the Smart Repair method. Deep dents or damage to load-bearing areas must be repaired or replaced conventionally in the workshop.
We use digital colour measurement systems to determine the exact colour directly on the vehicle. The paint surface is scanned and the colour value analysed - this is how we ensure that the new colour matches the original exactly.
With normal use and regular car care, repaired paint and plastic surfaces remain stable for years and help to maintain the value of the vehicle. The Smart Repair method can lead to high cost savings, especially for leased vehicles.
