Dent repairs
Starting from £50
Dents are an unavoidable part of owning a car, no matter if you park your car on the moon someone is likely to open a car door onto it. Most dents as mentioned above are caused in car parks where the car is stationery and another driver either bumps a part of their car on to yours or accidently knocks in to it when manoeuvring around it. Most dents can be found on the side panels of cars such as the doors or wings; you do still get dents on bonnets and boots where the damage has been caused by falling objects.
More Details
There are a few ways in which you can get a dent removed, selecting the right method entirely depends upon the type of dent it is and where it’s located on the panel.
Paint less Dent Removal (PDR)
This is the most common type of dent removal service available and is great at tackling small dents in easy to reach locations such as in the middle of panels or an area the is accessible from behind. Larger dents can be improved by PDR but the improvement rate does drop as the dents get bigger. Most businesses that use the PDR technique are mobile so they come to you to carry out the car body repair. It’s the cheapest out of the 3 removal methods available with dents costing on average between £40 – £60 to remove.
Dent Pullers
Dents pullers are pieces of equipment that can be used to pull a dent out from the cars exterior by way of varying suction cups that create a vacuum on the panel between the cup and dent from which pressure can be applied to ease the dent out. This technique is mainly used on larger dents where there are no sharp edges on the extremities of the damage giving you a 100% repair. If using this technique on odd shaped dents that are near any corner edge or angle the improvement percentage is lower. This technique is a great method for improving larger dents and can be employed with other techniques such as PDR or Fill and spray to get a better degree of perfection. The cost for this service is slightly higher than using PDR with costs between £55 – £85 for removal.
Fill and Spray
This technique can be used with all types of dents on any panel, it involves filling the dent with a type of filler and then spraying the effected panel. The only down fall to this type of service is that you would need the panel sprayed, this can cause more problems such as paintwork not matching, orange peel or even the fish eye effect if not painted correctly with the matching paint. The costs for this are the highest out of the 3 with repairs starting from £120 per panel up to £300 per panel.
The best type of service to use entirely depends upon the type of dent you have and your budget.

Panel scratch repairs
Starting from £50
Other than the shape its the paintwork on a car that sets it apart from all others, whether its a metallic or pearlescent finish flat or two tone it’s the appearance that draws you to it and from there on to buy it. Keeping your car paintwork in its original condition can be a tricky affair for there are numerous obstacles to try an avoid as well as the unforeseen or malice events that can damage your vehicle, such as car paint scratches.
More Details
Paintwork scratches are the more common type of damage we have to fix such as the every day bumper scuff to the more intentional key scratch along a panel. Panel scratches are almost impossible to try an avoid for most of the time they occur by other road users not paying attention to there surroundings.
The days have past when to repair a scratch you would have to spray the entire side of a car to blend in the paintwork and lose the car for days on end to boot. Our smart repair techniques use the latest in mobile technology that utilises time saving and colour matching methods, which dramatically reduce the time the repair would take as well as the cost. Most repairs on average are over 70% cheaper than the body shop alternative, with prices this low can you afford not to have the paintwork repaired, so well worth the investment.

More Details
Fixing car seat upholstery has been a steady progressive part of our business over the last decade that has seen an increase year on year. With the new law change in 2015 (that prohibited drivers or passengers smoking in the car with young children) we expected a sharp decrease in the amount of car seat upholstery repairs we carry out, but to our surprise we actually saw a rise.
Another possible cause for an increase in car upholstery repairs could be put down to the rise of the hire and lease car company’s. What I mean is that it works out cheaper these days to hire or lease a car than to purchase a car out right so more people are choosing this option. When the law changed on smoking in cars the lease car firms followed suit and prohibited the smoking in their vehicles and placed high penalties on customers who were found to infringe this rule. As a result people who thought it was ok to smoke in these vehicles and that had sustained seat burns in the cars upholstery, needed to get them fixed at a reasonable cost so they weren’t found out. Currently over 80% of the seat upholstery repairs we carry out are on lease or company cars.
We use a tried and tested method that we have adapted that gives excellent results at low cost. We carry out seat upholstery repairs and car body repairs in all of Hertfordshire and Essex and most parts or North London. We do not need access to electric and we do not need to be parked next to your vehicle. So if you can’t park your car near your house or you are in an isolated area, we will still be able to carry out the job.

Stone chip repairs
Starting from £50
Every vehicle no matter what age gets stone chips, they are an unavoidable problem. Generally stone chips are caused by day to day motorway and road driving by small objects like stones impacting on your vehicle.
More Details
The main areas where you would find stone chips are:
- Stone Chips on Car Bonnets
- Stone Chips on Car Wings
- Stone Chips on Bumpers
The only 100% way to repair a stone chip perfectly would be to respray that particular panel. This is sometimes not cost effective when the vehicle in question is pebble dashed with them. And once sprayed you could drive home and pick them up all over again. Car Body Repairs 4 Less offers 2 different alternatives to full body resprays:
- (1) Respray small localised areas (where stone chips are locatedalso known as a Smart Repair)
- (2) Touch-ins.
The price and repair time to respray small localised areas depends on the size of the panel. The price to touch-in the majority of the larger stone chips all around the car also varys depending on the severity of the stone chip and distribution of damage. The repair time to touch in the entire vehicle is approximatly 1 hour. The time to spray a localised area with our smart repair techniques would be on average 2 – 3 hours.
