7 Essential Questions to Ask Before Booking Car Body Repairs

If your vehicle’s been scratched, dented or scuffed, finding a reliable car body repair specialist is a top priority. With so many options available, how do you know who to trust? Whether it’s bumper damage, a keyed panel, or a scraped alloy wheel, asking the right questions can help you avoid poor-quality work and give you peace of mind.

At Spraywise, we understand how much your vehicle means to you. That’s why we believe in being transparent, professional, and committed to delivering top-tier results. Before choosing a repair service whether it’s us or someone else, here are seven important questions to ask:

1. Will I Get a Clear, Upfront Quote?

A professional body shop should always provide a full quote before starting any work. This allows you to make an informed decision without any surprise charges. At Spraywise, we give every customer a transparent, no-obligation quote—whether it’s for a minor scuff or a more detailed cosmetic repair.

2. Is Your Work Guaranteed?

Reputable car body repair companies will stand by their workmanship. At Spraywise, every repair is backed by a guarantee, so you can drive away knowing the work has been completed to a high standard—and if there’s ever a concern, we’ll put it right.

3. Do You Use High-Quality Paint and Materials?

Low-cost repairs often cut corners by using inferior materials, which can lead to mismatched colours or fading over time. Spraywise uses premium, colour-matched automotive paints and professional-grade materials to ensure a seamless, long-lasting finish that blends perfectly with your car’s original paintwork.

4. How Long Will the Repair Take?

Time is valuable. While some garages can leave you without your car for days, Spraywise completes most cosmetic repairs in just a few hours—and many can be done on the same day. We’ll always provide an honest estimate of how long the work will take when you book.

5. Can I See Your Previous Work?

A trusted repair specialist will be happy to show off their results. At Spraywise, we regularly share before-and-after images on our website and social media, and our customers are always happy to leave reviews. You can check out examples of our work to see the difference for yourself.

6. Do You Offer Mobile Repairs?

We used to offer a mobile SMART repair service, but as Spraywise has grown, so has our commitment to delivering the highest quality finish possible. That’s why we now carry out all repairs at our fully equipped body shop, complete with a professional spray booth.

While mobile repairs can be convenient, they simply can’t match the controlled environment, precision tools, and lasting results we can achieve in our workshop. By bringing your vehicle to us, you benefit from a cleaner finish, better colour matching, and a more durable repair all carried out by the same trusted team.

7. Are You Fully Insured?

It’s easy to overlook, but always check that your repair provider is insured. At Spraywise, we’re fully insured for all the work we carry out, giving you complete peace of mind throughout the process.
