Scratch repair has a lot of hype in it. Here's how ours actually works.
From your photos, we sort the damage: surface scuff, clear-coat scratch, into the color, or down to primer or metal. That decides what's possible and what it costs.
On site, we clean and prep the damaged area only — not the whole panel. Your factory paint around it stays untouched.
The scratch is rebuilt with a bonding process made for automotive finishes and blended into the surrounding paint. Metallics included.
Clear coat closes over the repair and it's finished to match the panel's gloss. That's what makes it permanent.
Anyone who promises your scratch will vanish is selling you something. Even brand-new cars don't have perfect paint. What we promise is a repair that's permanent, blended into your factory finish, and dramatically better than what you've got — and we tell you before we start what we can and can't fix.
Fix the scratch. Don't just cover it up.
Touch-up pens fill. Polishing hides. Both come back. Our patented process is the only permanent scratch repair on the market: we fill the scratch and close the clear coat over the top of it, so it doesn't wash off, fade out, or reappear in six months.
If it's a body-shop job, we'll say so — and point you to one we trust.
Most repairs land between $250 and $500, depending on how many panels and how deep the damage is. A single light scratch on one panel starts around $199. You get an exact price from the photos before we book anything. See pricing.
Here's the honest answer: we aim for a 70–80% improvement and usually do better. Most customers can't find the spot afterward. But even new cars don't have perfect paint, and anyone who promises invisible is overpromising. We'll tell you what to expect for your specific damage before we start.
Yes — because we don't repaint. We repair into your existing factory paint and blend the surrounding finish, so there's no new paint to mismatch. Metallics and pearls included.
Often, yes, and they tend to be bigger jobs. The deeper it goes, the less predictable the result, and we'll say so. If it's down to bare metal over a large area, or the panel needs repainting, that's a body shop and we'll tell you.
About 90 minutes for a typical repair. Multiple panels take longer. You don't need to be there the whole time — just let us at the car.
The repair bonds into the paint and is sealed under clear coat. It's not a filler, a pen, or a polish that hides the scratch until the next wash. It doesn't fade out or reappear.
Wherever it's parked: your driveway, your office lot, your apartment garage. We bring everything. Covered or shaded is nice but not required.
After the repair, once you've seen it. Cash, Venmo, Cash App, card, or an invoice for business customers. No deposit.
Yes — that's most of our week. Standing lot service for dealerships, plus fleets, rental returns and rideshare vehicles. Dealer and fleet service.
Two minutes on your phone. We'll tell you if it's a fit and what it'll cost — usually the same day.
