DENT REPAIR METHODS
- Paintless Dent Removal (PDR): For dents with no paint damage. We massage the metal from behind the panel to restore its original shape, without using filler or paint.
- SMART repair (Small to medium area repair technique): Ideal for localised scuffs, bumper scrapes, and key lines. We blend colour and lacquer into the affected area for a seamless finish.
- Bodyshop refinishing: For deeper scratches or cracked paint. We prep, prime, colour-coat, and clear-coat to factory specifications, then machine-polish.
- Machine polishing & scratch reduction: For light surface marks and swirl removal. Great for restoring gloss and clarity.

FAQs
If you have any further questions, email us at [email protected]
Can I fix a car scratch myself?
While you'll find plenty of DIY kits online, they rarely give a lasting finish. In fact, using the wrong products can sometimes make the damage look worse. Our technicians use professional tools, paint-matching systems, and years of experience to achieve a repair that blends seamlessly with your car's original paintwork.
How long does a vehicle scratch repair take?
Most minor repairs can be completed the same day. For deeper scratches or dents, it may take a little longer, but we'll always work to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Accident repairs & insurance work
Dealing with accident damage and insurance paperwork? Let DVB Automotive take the stress out of the process. You're not required to use your insurer's chosen repairer - you can pick a garage you trust. Choose us, and we'll handle the rest.
We work directly with insurance providers while staying focused on what matters to you: a fair, detailed assessment, high-quality repairs, and clear communication throughout the process. Our experienced team uses trusted external assessors and estimators to ensure all necessary work is accounted for and approved.
Worried about your excess rising if you go elsewhere? Don't be - we'll cover the difference if your insurer suggests a different repairer.
Dent & scratch repairs
Our paintless dent removal (PDR) and smart repair techniques restore your vehicle's bodywork without unnecessary respraying.
What is PDR?
PDR is a precise technique that removes minor dents without filling, sanding, or repainting. Using specialist tools, we gently reshape the panel from behind, making it a quick, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution for door dings, hail damage, and minor creases.
Full & partial resprays
Our expert resprays use advanced paint-matching technology to ensure the perfect finish.
- Full resprays: A complete repaint of your vehicle, ideal for restoring faded, sun-damaged, or heavily scratched paintwork, repairing accident damage across multiple panels, or changing the car's colour.
- Partial resprays: A targeted repainting of specific panels, such as bumpers, doors, or bonnets, to repair scratches, scuffs, or minor accident damage.
If you're unsure whether you need a full or partial respray, our experts will assess your vehicle and recommend

Alloy wheel refurbishment
If your wheels are scraped, scratched, scuffed, faded, bent, dented, or even split, alloy wheel refurbishment offers a cost-effective solution. Refurbishing is often a smarter choice than replacing, saving you money while keeping your vehicle looking its best. However, replacement might be the safer option in severe damage.
At DVB Automotive, our experts will assess your wheels and provide honest, professional advice on the best course of action. You can trust us to get your wheels looking as good as new - without breaking the bank.
