(Also called spot repair or localized paint repair) car scratch repair is a targeted auto body repair process focused on fixing small, isolated scratches or scuffs — without disassembling entire panels or repainting your whole vehicle. This method is ideal for:
Bumper scuffs
Fender scratches
Door dings
Keyed paint damage
Rock chips and minor paint loss
It’s the perfect solution for cosmetic damage — fast, affordable, and professional with no need for a full-body paint job. If structural issues are discovered, we may recommend a Collision Repair evaluation.
It’s the smart choice to choose scratch repairs when your vehicle has minor cosmetic damage and you want it fixed quickly, affordably, and professionally.
Minor, localized damage
Structural or widespread damage
Start with a free estimate — either in person at our auto body shop in Dallas or virtually by sending in photos of the damage. Our experienced team will evaluate the severity and location of the damage, determine if a scratch repair is the best option, and explain the process clearly before you commit. We’ll provide transparent recommendations and answer any questions you may have about timing, quality, and expectations. This ensures there are no surprises, and you know exactly what to expect.
We also offer Insurance Claim Assistance if your cosmetic damage is part of a larger covered claim.
We thoroughly clean the damaged area to remove any dirt, wax, or contaminants. Our technicians carefully mask surrounding panels to protect unaffected areas, then sand and prep the surface to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth foundation for repair. The preparation stage is critical because it prevents imperfections from showing through the paint and ensures long-lasting adhesion. Our team takes extra care to preserve the original condition of surrounding panels.

The affected area is repaired using high-grade materials and fillers where necessary. We use your vehicle’s factory paint code combined with computerized color-matching technology to apply paint that seamlessly blends into your car’s original finish. Our process includes layering the paint in stages to replicate the factory texture and gloss. This attention to detail results in a near-invisible repair, maintaining the aesthetics and integrity of your vehicle.
If paint isn’t damaged, you might qualify for Paintless Dent Repair.
A clear coat is applied over the painted area for durability and shine. Once the paint cures, we buff and polish the surface to achieve a flawless, high-gloss finish. Before returning your vehicle, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards — just like we do for full Auto Body Repair jobs. Our technicians perform quality control checks on color match, surface texture, and overall repair accuracy so that your car leaves looking its absolute best.

Limited Warranty on All Spot Repairs
We’re a trusted name in collision repair in Dallas and the go-to shop for affordable, fast cosmetic fixes.
Most scratch repairs are completed in 1–2 days. Some can be done same-day, depending on the size and location of the damage. Because the process targets a localized area, we’re able to minimize downtime without compromising quality. In some cases, we can begin work the same day as your estimate.
Scratches, dings, small dents, bumper scuffs, and rock chips are typically eligible for spot repair. The damage must be confined to a small area and not involve deep structural issues or large panel damage. If the paint is broken but the panel is intact, spot repair is usually the ideal fix.
Absolutely! For your convenience, we offer virtual estimates.
Simply upload clear photos or videos of the damage through our website or by scanning our QR code with your smartphone. This allows us to assess the damage remotely and provide an estimate without an initial in-person visit. While virtual estimates give a good starting point, final estimates may require an in-person inspection to ensure accuracy.

Our technicians also blend the paint skillfully into the surrounding area for a seamless finish. The result is a consistent, factory-quality look that makes the repair virtually undetectable.
Both techniques serve different purposes. Paintless dent repair is best for shallow dents where the paint is still intact, while spot repair is ideal when paint has been scratched, chipped, or damaged. In many cases, we may recommend a combination of both services depending on the condition of your vehicle.
Yes, your car is typically ready to drive shortly after the repair is completed. While the paint is dry to the touch, we recommend avoiding car washes and harsh chemicals for a few days to allow the finish to fully cure. Our team will advise you on best practices for post-repair care.
