HOW DOES IT WORK?

Small scratches, scuffs and dents can all occur to body work as a result of everyday driving. They are not only unsightly but have a negative effect on the value of your car. In the past, cars in need of cosmetic repair would have been sent to a conventional body shop, meaning that you would be without your car while the repair took place and potentially facing a large bill. Thankfully, many small scratches, scuffs and dents can be fixed using SMART Repair technology – and we will cover the cost. 

The SMART Repair concept was originally created to offer the motor industry a fast, cost effective solution to assist in the cosmetic repair of used vehicles. SMART Insurance now lets you take advantage of this new solution to ensure your vehicle always looks great by repairing minor bumps and scratches as they happen.
