01Why it matters
A good repair is one nobody notices.
Fit, finish and colour are what separate a restored panel from an obvious one. All three are decided before the paint goes on.
Panel fit is what the eye notices
Before anyone sees the paint, they see the gaps. A repair that does not sit right reads as a repair from across the street.
Colour is never just the paint code
Age, sun exposure and the original application all shift a panel's actual colour. Matching means matching your car, not the code on the plate.
Not all damage is worth repairing the same way
Some panels are best repaired, some replaced. That assessment should come before the estimate, not be discovered during the work.
02Outcomes
What you get from it.
Panel alignment restored
Gaps, lines and shut faces returned to how they should sit, because that is what makes a repair invisible.
Colour matched to your car
Matching is done against the panel's actual condition and blended into adjacent panels where the finish calls for it.
Correct paint process
Preparation, primer, basecoat and clearcoat applied according to the paint system rather than shortened to save a day.
Delivered detailed
The car comes back cleaned and finished, not just repaired — the last stage is part of the job.
03Scope
Included, and deliberately not included.
Scope is agreed at the estimate so there are no assumptions on either side.
What the service covers
- Damage inspection and repairability assessment
- Written estimate covering the agreed repair scope
- Dent and metal correction where the panel can be saved
- Preparation and sanding of the repair area
- Primer, basecoat and clearcoat according to the paint system
- Alignment and refit of panels, trim and fixings
- Colour and finish inspection, then final detailing
What it does not cover
- Mechanical or electrical repair unrelated to the damaged area
- Any guarantee about what an insurer will approve or pay
- Repair of pre-existing damage outside the agreed scope
- An estimate before the damage has been seen or photographed properly
04Process
How the work is done.
Nine stages, in order. Fit is restored before paint is considered, because paint cannot correct alignment.
Accident intake
Tell us what happened and send photos. If the car is drivable we will say so; if it is not, we will talk through options.
Inspection
Damage is assessed properly, including whether panels are repairable or better replaced, and whether anything underneath is affected.
Estimate
A written estimate covers the repair scope, with the reasoning for repair-versus-replace explained rather than assumed.
Approval
Work begins once approved — by you directly, or through the insurance route where a claim is involved.
Repair
Dent and metal correction, panel work and refitting carried out to restore fit before any paint is considered.
Paint
Preparation, primer, basecoat and clearcoat applied according to the paint system, with colour matched to your car.
Quality check
Colour, finish, alignment and shut lines inspected under proper lighting against the agreed scope.
Detailing
The vehicle is cleaned and finished so it is handed back presentable rather than merely repaired.
Delivery
The completed work is explained at handover, along with anything to watch during the first weeks.
05Proof
The work itself.
06Method
Why colour matching decides the result.
Paint specifications are confirmed against your vehicle rather than assumed from the code.
Colour matching is a process, not a lookup
Your car's paint has aged in Bengaluru sun. Matching accounts for that and blends into adjacent panels where the finish requires it.
Repair or replace is a real decision
A repaired panel that should have been replaced never sits right. That call is made at assessment and explained to you, not made silently.
The paint system dictates the steps
Preparation, primer, basecoat and clearcoat each have their place and their curing needs. Skipping stages is what causes peeling and mismatch later.
Rushing shows within a year
Poor preparation and shortened curing look fine at handover and fail visibly afterwards. Timeline honesty at the estimate is worth more than speed.
07Honest limits
What body repair does, and what it does not.
Including when the honest answer is that a repair is not worth doing.
What body repair does
It restores panel fit, surface finish and colour consistency after accident or cosmetic damage.
What it does not do
It is not mechanical repair, and it cannot promise what an insurer will approve. Claim outcomes rest with your insurer and policy terms.
Some damage is not economically repairable
Occasionally the honest assessment is that a repair costs more than it is worth. We will tell you that rather than quote it anyway.
Timelines depend on parts and approval
Parts availability and, on a claim, insurer approval both affect the schedule. We report movement rather than leaving you guessing.
08Coverage
Options, discussed at assessment.
These are starting points shaped around the damage and how you want to handle it.
09Questions
What owners ask before committing.
Make sure everyone is safe and the vehicle is out of traffic first. Then send us clear photos of the damage — several angles and one wider shot — and we will tell you what the next step looks like.
That is the goal and it is why matching is done against your car's actual panels rather than the paint code alone. Where the finish calls for it, colour is blended into adjacent panels so there is no visible edge.
It depends on where and how badly the panel is damaged. The assessment makes that call and the reasoning is explained in the estimate — a panel repaired when it should have been replaced never sits correctly.
Yes, and we can assist with the documentation and coordination side of a claim. What your insurer approves and pays is decided by them under your policy terms — we do not control or guarantee that.
Often that makes sense for smaller cosmetic damage, where a claim could affect your no-claim bonus. We will lay out both paths so you can decide which suits.
It depends on the damage, parts availability and — on a claim — approval timelines. You get a realistic estimate after assessment and updates if anything moves.
Yes. Final detailing is part of the process rather than an extra, so the car is handed back presentable rather than just structurally finished.
