As accident repair specialists in Chesterfield and Rotherham, we’ve seen our fair share of vehicle damage over the years. It’s part of our job to provide our customers with the best solutions for them, and one of those solutions is SMART repairs. SMART repairs are carried out when a vehicle has minor damage. For example, a scratch that hasn’t penetrated the paintwork too deeply, a scuff or chip, or a minor dent. So, what makes a repair SMART?

What is a SMART Repair?

SMART refers to an acronym which is derived from the phrase Small, Medium Area Repair Techniques. Typically, a SMART repair can be attended to whilst all the panels are fitted to the vehicle, which is why they’re really only suitable for minor, superficial damage. As they’re mostly cosmetic repairs, they can be done at a lower cost, making them far more affordable than a traditional body shop.

How can you Benefit from SMART Repairs?

By fixing minor scratches, dents, and chips with SMART repairs, you’re essentially saving yourself money in the long run. Superficial damage to paintwork can quickly rust if not corrected, therefore SMART repairs are a great way to keep your vehicle in good condition. Another advantage of SMART repairs is that they’re fast. CRS smart repairs in Chesterfield and Rotherham can usually be carried out on the same day, meaning you’re not without your car for long.

I’ve Damaged my Lease Car – Can SMART Repairs Benefit Me?

SMART repairs are an excellent way to return a lease hire vehicle to its original condition before returning the car to the hire company. Leasing companies have strict policies on damage when receiving vehicles at the end of their contracts, often charging significant amounts for even relatively minor damage or imperfections. It’s far more cost effective to carry out SMART repairs before the vehicle is returned and avoid these charges, as the cost of the repair work is often much lower than the charge you may be faced with from the leasing company.
