Why Our Smart Repair Centre Is Better Value Than A Bodyshop

We've all done it. Whether thats a little prang when going around a multi-story car park, a shopping trolley leaving a dent when rolling into the passenger door, or simply kerbing an alloy wheel when doing a manoeuvre in a tight street. It's the unfortunate reality that most of us collect unwanted damage on our vehicle that's often no fault of our own! As we like taking pride in our vehicles, our first port of call is to search up our local automobile bodyshop to carry out a repair. However, did you know that there was a quicker, more efficient way of getting your vehicle back to tip-top condition? That's where our Smart Repair Centre comes in!

In the last ten years or so the SMART repair industry has been rapidly expanding. SMART stands for Small and Medium Area Repair Technique, which reduces the need to visit a traditional bodyshop for light repairs. Our Smart Repair Centre located in Worcester can be used for a range of problems including small dents, bumper scuffs, scratches, prangs, windscreen chip repair and kerbed alloy wheels.

The primary benefit of using our Smart Repair Centre is the cost to repair damage. As only a small area of your vehicle needs to be restored to factory condition, it is much cheaper than going to a bodyshop where a whole panel may need to be worked on. There’s no need to pay for a whole body panel/s to be painted because of a dent in your door or a scratched bumper is there? But don't be put off by the lower cost! Rest assured your vehicle is in the most capable hands as all work is conducted by fully-trained brand specialist technicians who use genuine parts and approved materials that produce the best finish on your vehicle. Any repairs conducted on your vehicle at our approved Smart Repair Centre are backed up by a repair authenticity guarantee, so you will have peace of mind that work done on your vehicle has been completed to the highest standard.

Another major benefit of using our Smart Repair Centre is convenience. As repairs are almost always completed on the same day you bring your vehicle to us, it allows you to wait in comfort whilst we carry out the necessary work without worrying about your transport needs.

Our Smart Repair Centre could also be very useful if you're considering selling your vehicle. You might be able to live with a scuff or two but it can severely deter from the vehicle's resale value. If a potential buyer sees dents or chips when examing it, ithey may be put off and go elsewhere.

Why don't you book your vehicle into our Smart Repair Centre today by calling 01905830361

Finance Disclosure

Startin Group Ltd and Thomas Startin Junr Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd's permissions as a Principal Firm allows Startin Group Ltd, Thomas Startin Junr Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required
