Why It Matters
Why Scratch Repair Matters
There is a real difference between minor surface scratches and deep scratches that reach the primer or metal. Surface scratches mostly affect appearance, while deeper scratches can expose the body to rust.

FAQ
Scratch Repair — Frequently Asked Questions
Can deep scratches be repaired?
Yes. Deep scratches can be professionally repaired with sanding, priming, refinishing, and blending. The exact process depends on how deep the scratch is and which panel it is on. We inspect every scratch before recommending a repair plan.
When does a scratch need paint repair?
Scratches need paint repair when they cut through the clear coat and reach the base color, primer, or metal. If you can feel the scratch with a fingernail or see a different color inside, it typically needs more than a simple polish.
Will scratch repair match my vehicle color?
Yes. We use professional color matching and blending so the repaired area looks consistent with the rest of your vehicle. Proper matching is important on metallic, pearl, and tri-coat finishes.
Should I fix scratches before they rust?
Yes. Once a scratch reaches bare metal, moisture can start the process of rust and corrosion. Repairing scratches early is one of the easiest ways to protect your vehicle's body and value over time.
