Has anyone had a smart repair ?

Post by bubbabear » Wed Sep 30, 2015 8:55 pm

As per title if so then what was the overall quality of the paint finish compared to the original paint?

Can these so called 'mobile smart repairers' spray to a standard as good as a bodyshop or does their lower price reflect the lower quality?

Any feedback appreciated

The previous Polo I had for the children (latest shape) had on the front bumper a smart repair done when we bought it as I did not like the paint quality on the corner.

It peeled about 6 months later.

As always, it is only as good as the person doing the job.

sorry i meant mobile smart repair. Can these guys spray paint and get to a finish that is acceptable or is the paint shop the only place to go?
