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

Spot repair is suitable for minor paint damage that is limited to a clearly defined area, such as damage caused by stone chips or a scratch in the wheel rim. The damaged area is sanded, primed and painted with a colour to match. A thin coat of clear lacquer then ensures an even transition to the rest of the surface.
Smaller dents or dings can sometimes be repaired using this method in such a way that the original paint is not damaged. In such cases, the sheet metal is carefully pressed back and the area is then finely polished to smooth out any unevenness and restore the shine. If the surface is intact, painting can usually be dispensed with completely.
This means that minor paint damage to the bodywork can be easily repaired using spot repair. The prerequisite is that the affected area has no load-bearing or safety-relevant functions.
In the case of cracks in plastic parts such as the bumper, the damaged area is stabilised from the inside with special filling material, then smoothed and, if necessary, colour-matched. This preserves the original appearance - without the need for expensive replacement.
Minor damage to the interior can also be repaired in this way. Special repair compounds are used for this, which are colour-matched and processed so that they match the original surface as closely as possible in terms of structure 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.
