You’ve just returned to your car in the supermarket car park, bags in hand, only to spot it, a shallow but infuriating dent near your wheel arch, a nasty souvenir courtesy of a rogue shopping trolley. These minor imperfections, alongside careless door openings or light scuffs, are annoying because they spoil the look of your vehicle. While such minor damage is usually not worth claiming through your insurance, ignoring it is a false economy that risks the long-term health of your vehicle.
Small Dings, Big Problems: The Risk of Neglect
At AutoLux, we specialise in addressing those small dents to bodywork that traditional body shops often charge a premium to fix. Although seemingly cosmetic, if a ding is sharp enough to have broken through the protective paint layers, it leaves the metal vulnerable to the harsh UK weather. This inevitably leads to corrosion and rust spreading beneath the paint surface, requiring more extensive and expensive repairs later on. Addressing minor damage promptly is essential for preserving your car’s aesthetic appeal and maintaining its long-term resale value.
SMART Repair: The Cost-Effective Solution
We use modern SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) techniques to handle localised damage, such as shopping trolley dings and minor dents, quickly and affordably. SMART repairs are designed to fix specific areas without the need for extensive work on entire panels or expensive replacements. This targeted approach significantly reduces both material costs and labour time, which means we can offer affordable prices without compromising quality. Our cost-effective solutions also mean you can pay out-of-pocket rather than involving your insurance company and potentially affecting your no-claims discount.

While some providers may offer mobile dent repair, achieving a pristine finish demands a controlled environment. We pride ourselves on the fact that all our bodywork and paint applications are carried out in our state-of-the-art, purpose-built workshops.
