Here at ChipsAway, we are experts in SMART repair, standing for Small to Medium Area Repair Technology. Where traditional body shops may need to remove entire panels of the car to repair the dents, SMART repair techniques allow for us to focus our repair so that we only work on the smaller areas with the dent that need repairing. Since, unlike traditional body repairs, we don’t need to remove the entire damaged panel to pull the dent to remove it, our SMART dent removal will often result in a faster and less expensive alternative to traditional body shops.
We use specialist scratch and dent repair tools to help return your car to pristine condition. These provide a smooth and consistent finish, massaging your car’s bodywork gently back into position. Our body repair and removal tools provide a professional finish and solve the issues often faced by store-bought dent pullers.
Car dents are often accompanied by scratches, and it may be the case that, as well as a dent, there is a scratch that cuts through the paintwork. If the dent has scratched and damaged the paintwork, then a scratch repair may also be needed. In these cases, and depending on the size of the dent, ChipsAway specialists first sand down the damage to remove any rough patches and then fill the dent to repair it. The whole damaged area is then rubbed down before being resprayed, lacquered, and polished. By the time we have finished our minor dent repair and scratch removal process your car will look ‘as good as new’.
At ChipsAway we use the car colour codes and a piece of equipment called a spectrophotometer to guarantee that our dent and scratch repair matches perfectly with the surrounding area. This means that the repair is no longer visible once the dent has been removed and the scratch repaired. SMART repair ensures that your dents and scratches are removed in an efficient way every time.

Our ChipsAway specialists can repair and remove a wide variety of dents. Whether an unexpected bollard has impacted your door panel, or a surprisingly high kerb has dinged your bumper, our experts are able to return your car to fantastic condition.
How long a removal or repair can take depends on a couple of factors, how deep the dent is and if the paint surface is broken. If the dent is shallow and if it doesn’t break the surface of the paint, then it can be completed faster than a deeper and more damaging dent. If the paintwork has been scratched or damaged then we may need to use our SMART scratch repair technique, and this can take slightly longer. Either way, ChipsAway SMART repairs tend to take no longer than a few hours to complete.
Yes. We have based our dent repair service around your convenience. Many of our specialists are mobile and can come to you to repair a dent wherever you are. This means that they can fix your car’s dent or scratch whilst you’re at home, at work, or even on holiday. We also have over 40 car repair centres spread throughout the country meaning that, in locations where there isn’t a mobile service available, there is usually a car care centre nearby that can help you with your dent repair.
Yes, we can repair dents in leased cars. If you return your car at the end of the lease and there is a dent within the body, then it is likely you will be charged a fee for the car being dented. That fee can be expensive and can cost more than simply getting the car repaired. We offer cost-effective dent repairs on leased cars that help you avoid any unexpected fees. You can find out more about our end-of-lease repairs here.
If you are wondering how to get a dent out of a car, or how to get a small dent out of a car, then there are a few options. Some DIY or store-bought dent removal kits or car dent removers, can work for reducing the impact of a dent on your car. That being said, DIY solutions may not be able to completely remove the dent from your car. With a DIY solution (such as a dent puller or PDR kit) it can be hard to produce the perfect finish and, if used incorrectly, it can cause more harm than good. This can leave damage that is more costly to remove in the long run.
Here at ChipsAway, we provide a reliable dent removal service with a lifetime guarantee. Our experts work hard to remove your dent and return your car to pristine condition – every time. You can find out more about our repair guarantee here.
